Welcome to Wilmette

 
Favorite Restaurants:
 
  • Pescadero - it's great for seafood and one of my favorite cocktail menus!
  • Sophia’s Steakhouse - it is great for a special occasion dinner. If it’s a birthday, make sure the staff knows in advance!! The bar is great for a casual gathering for drinks and apps with friends.
  • Michigan Shores Club - it’s a private social club but has the best al fresco dining in town in the summer and is close to Gillson Beach!
 
Shopping:
 
  • Vibrato - it is an upscale, but casual boutique where I always find something unique and different. It’s not stuffy, and they have a great selection of professional clothes, purses and awesome jewelry!
  • Exhibit - it is a go-to for funky and classic clothes. There is always a rotation of local artists pieces and vintage finds.
  • Hubba Hubba - this is the girlfriends shopping experience. It’s the perfect place to go if you want an affordable trendy piece or gift. Julie, the owner, is warm and welcoming!
