Best of Chicago: Randolph Street Market

One of my favorite things is the Randolph Street Market. Great finds, great food + lots of fun. I found an amazing bar cart last month + a ring and pretty perfume bottle last weekend when I went with my friend {+ neighbor} Lesley of Six Twelve Place. She found a gorgeous bar cart of her very own! Great first trip to Randolph for her!

The highlight of my trip to the Randolph Street Market was the Antique Kitchen Catering booth. Delicious corn off the cob + cucumber lemonade. I haven't stopped talking about the corn since I had it. So, so good. Ashley + Rick are an amazing husband + wife team who run their own catering company. If there was ever motivation to have a catered event, this would be it.
Gorgeous finds! Lesley purchased the bar cart above.

This now sits on my dresser.

Adorable salt + pepper shakers.

Fell for one of these rings.

...and bought it.
Yes, my nails are covered in glitter. My inner 12 year old loves it.


That's Ashley in the gray top + adorable apron.

The corn was served in these perfect little containers.
They sold me with the presentation. Then I took a bite. Uh-mazing.

Upcoming dates: Aug 27-28, Sept 24-25, Oct 22-23 + Nov 19-20! If you are in Chicago during these dates, be sure you visit the Randolph Street Market!

Antique Kitchen is in the process of finding the perfect location for their restaurant Antique Taco which will make its debut at the Renegade Craft Fair September 10th & 11th in Wicker Park.

First of all, I might go check out the market just for the corn. When someone talks that way about a food item, it means its really worth checking out

Love all your finds. That perfume bottle is so pretty! and I want those salt and pepper shakers! My boring standard ones don't even compare!!

I'm so hungry right now and I don't even like corn. Weird, I know. I want to go to this market so bad!

I love your blog for the photos. They're always so great. I haven't been to the market yet this year but really must go soon - if for the corn and lemonade alone!

So jealous of Lesley's find! But obsessing over your gorgeous ring {and nails} and the S+P shakers. I need to be a photographer. Also, need to try corn off the cub because I'm hungryyyy!

One thing that I miss because I live in Fiji is all the wonderful markets. We don't have (m)any here. Everything looks so lovely. I wish I were a Randolph Street market in a pretty lil outfit!
