The Open Bottle

Reviewed By AntyK_12 - Joliet, United States

The Open Bottle is a great place to stop for beer, cider, or mead. Twelve taps plus a rarer cellar selection are always available. Plus,,you can choose a bottle or can from their vast selection to enjoy on premises, and four- and six-packs can be broken to enjoy there of “build your own”. Owners Patrick and Julie Bisch have built a friendly and beer-savvy staff. Trust me, this is THE place to go in the southern suburbs!

Gayety's Chocolates & Ice Cream Co.

Reviewed By Jimsupt122

I had an aunt who began taking me to the original location at 88th & Commercial in Chicago when I was an eight-year old child in Indiana (I'm now 74 Years Old). Their candied chocolates are just that - no goey, white filling like in cheap, boxes of chocolates. Wonderful milk and dark chocolates, candied fruit (cherries, orange peel, pineapple, prunes, etc.). I continue to purchase them for family and friends for holidays or to show my appreciation to those who have helped me or treated me well. I always receive sincere, overwhelming "thank you" messages from those who are recipients of my gifts. The GAYETY'S ice cream sundaes and banana splits are WITHOUT EQUAL ANYWHERE - They have my highest recommendation! /S/ Dr. James M. Rajchel, Ed.D.

Lake Katherine Nature Center

Reviewed By Toyota1994 - Chicago, United States

Visited Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens in Palos Heights the first weekend of August. It appears to be a very popular park. No admission fee is required, and no parking fees either. The park includes woodlands, prairie, wetlands, gardens and a large manmade lake with a pumped waterfall. The waterfall serves in aerating the water. The waterfall is in stages and has a trail by its side; the trail is well shaded by trees. The lake is the centerpiece of the park, and a mile long wood chip covered walking trail surrounds the lake. The trees on the southside of the trail are labeled. The lake edges are vegetated with a variety of flowering plants and the whole scenery is lovely. When we visited in July, kayak / canoe rentals were in heavy use on the lake. On the east side of the park is the Buzz N’ Bloom Prairie comprising of a variety of prairie plants including compass plant (flowers rotate to face the sun) as well as a variety of birds and insects. The parking lot also serves as a trailhead for the Cal-Sag Trail. Could not visit the Nature center which was closed due to the pandemic, but saw a wedding group taking pictures with the beautiful lake in the background. Lake Katherine is a wonderful place for one and all. Do not miss viewing the Worth Falls after a short walk from the Buzz N’ Bloom Prairie on the Cal-Sag Trail.
