Chicago: May Street Market





BYOB (no corkage fee) + Living Social coupon + excellent food = a wonderful Monday night dinner

Since our Living Social coupon ($25 for $50 worth of food) expires in three days, we decided to drive to May Street Market to use it up. The place was pretty empty when we walked in at 7:30 but the food and decor looked great.

For appetizers, Jess and Mike ordered the gazpacho (yum!). Nan and Bob ordered the grilled watermelon salad which came with a 'shooter' of watermelon juice (alcohol-free). We all thoroughly enjoyed our first dishes.

For the main course, Dad had the famous duck burger which came with perfectly crispy fries. We all had a bite and agree that it was one of the best 'burgers' in town. It came with figs and cheese and was served on a soft bun with a sweet taste. Jess ordered grilled tilapia with an olive tapenade and a summer squash salad. Mom ordered duck gnocchi and Mike enjoyed the smoked pork shoulder. We all loved our meal and our waiter was attentive and helpful.

Overall, we thought this place was a great value for the money and plan to return again.
