Caleb and I were able to continue with our Epic Exploration list this past weekend! We've had to take a few weeks off due to some busy weekends we had, but now with summer in full swing, there is nothing holding us back now!
Mass at Holy Name Cathedral
Yes, we have been to Holy Name Cathedral before. However, we haven't had the opportunity to take the Eucharist together at Holy Name. We are now able to celebrate that part of mass together, so we made our way downtown yesterday morning and attended their 9:30 mass. Just being in that cathedral is mesmerizing. To be able to spend even an hour of your week in such a beautiful place is amazing. It was a great way to end last week and start this week. Whether you are Catholic or not, Holy Name is a place to go and see when you are in Chicago. We learned back on our first visit that due to the fire that took place there a few years back, they had to redo the entire ceiling. Every piece of wood on that ceiling was hand placed. That's mind blowing, at least to me it is!

After mass let out, we of course had to grab brunch at our favorite spot, Bistrot Zinc. I recommend this little French bistro to everyone and anyone visiting Chicago. It's located in the Gold Coast, only a few blocks down on State St. from Holy Name Cathedral. They have the best service, atmosphere, and most importantly, food. It never disappoints!
Bistrot Zinc is located at 1131 N. State St. Chicago, IL.
