AS A KID IN CHICAGO I USED TO VISIT THE SWANKIEST RESTAURANTS WITH MY GRANDMA MARY, SIPPING ON A SHIRLEY TEMPLE WHILE SHE CHATTED UP OUR SERVER.

That’s when I became a foodie. A drinkie? Soon after, I fell for shopping and my love of local leisure grew.

Give me an open Saturday and I’ll fill it with brunch at the best bloody mary bar in town, followed by shopping the cutest boutiques, yoga with a true yogi, an impossibly relaxing facial and then dinner at a hidden gem with a fig salad that’s to die for.

I know the North Shore inside and out and want to connect the people who live here with our incredible local businesses.

With over 15 years of media and PR experience, I’m shining a light on the best restaurants, shops, activities and services in fun episodes right here at Cheryl On The Shore.
