Project Runway Star Discusses Love of Lake View

Kate Pankoke, a Chicago-based bridal designer who starred on this season's 'Project Runway', shared a list of her favorite Lake View and Lincoln Park spots with the Huffington Post last week. The 24-year-old designer has lived in Lake View for a few years now, and told the Huffington Post that she "loves the area." 

Pankoke told the Huffington Post that her favorite place for a nightcap in the area is the Lincoln Park bar and restaurant Monkey's Paw ("They have wine flights and also scotch flights," she said.) Her favorite hangover brunch hotspot is the Lake View hotspot Fritz Pastry ("They have this soul bowl that is to die for.") And one of her favorite restaurants is Home Bistro ("The atmosphere is so casual, it's really cool.")
