Volunteer Park Conservatory

Leave a comment

I stopped at the Conservatory during a walk around Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill. The East Wing has been completely renovated and you can now access the 5 different display sections of this Victorian-style green house.

Some areas have benches, where you can sit and relax while watching the exotic flowers and plants.

Joule is a Jewel

Leave a comment
You don’t expect a restaurant to have a nice and warm design in a warehouse style building. Joule does. The decor is really stylish and I love the blue and black creative wallpaper.

The Asian fusion and Korean food they serve is creative and flavorful. Dishes are meant to be shared but make sure to save room for dessert.
I would recommend to make a reservation but if you don’t, enjoy the outdoor fire pit with a cocktail or a glass of whatever you like on a nice evening!

Side Notes:
The restaurant adjoins The Whale Wins, which I wrote about a few months ago. To read the article bout Whale wins.
And check out Revel from the same owners/chefs I also wrote twice about: Winter lunch at Revel and Sunny day at Revel.

Sitka and Spruce

Leave a comment
This is a place I’m always happy to go to. It’s located in the back of Melrose Market. The dishes are always very fresh and have great flavors. If you love veggies, then this is your place.
I love Sitka & Spruce especially when the weather is nice, because you can sit at the bar along the window. There is no view but you can enjoy the sun! You can also sit at the communal table with a bunch of friends or make friends there!
If you are hungry, remember that salad or veggies portions are not that big.

Cured salmon, daikon, grilled seeds & cultured cream


Today for lunch, I had “Cured salmon, daikon, grilled seeds & cultured cream”. Delicious!
