THADDEUS WONG

WHO: Cofounder of @properties MY NEIGHBORHOOD: “Lincoln Park. Great schools, lots of coffee, open space, and close to the lake.” FAVORITE NEW PLACE: “Soho House (113 N. Green St., 312-521-8000; sohohousechicago.com). It has a young, creative, and inclusive vibe pushing the envelope.” GO-TO CHICAGO SPOT: “Floriole (1220 W. Webster Ave., 773-883-1313; floriole.com). There is nothing you can order that’s not fabulous.” HIDDEN GEM: “Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool (lincolnparkconservancy.org). Peace and tranquility 50 feet from the noise [of Lincoln Park].” FAVORITE PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE: “The Tribune Building (435 N. Michigan Ave.). Incredible history, architecture, and location.” SPRINGTIME LOVE: “The people. Everyone celebrates life all over again.” THREE THINGS EVERY CHICAGO VISITOR SHOULD DO: “Sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at a Blackhawks game with Jim Cornelison; find a place to be still and watch our city move; help a Chicagoan who can’t help themselves.”
