if you would like to share, you are free to. this is meant more as a walk and talk sort of event as we walk around lakeview east, and try some dessert spots.

i will have a Meetup sign, and periodically aim to update the group when we are moving. if you want to stay for just a few spots, feel free. if you want to stay for the last boba spot at end, you're welcome to as well.

we will most likely do 2 routes, which will cover the same locations but above is the tentative route A (updaters will update a second route closer to the date, but will either be a staggered start, different order or tentative).

## 📍 start at Belmont Red/Brown/Purple stop (945 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60657)

hope to see you there!
