Lefteris Hatzikonstantinou and Spiro Agrisis dish up breakfast orders at Valois Restaurant, a neighborhood institution at 1518 E. 53rd. (Brian J. Morowczynski/Tribune)
In honor of the election, have a day date in President Obama's neighborhood, Chicago's Hyde Park. Start with breakfast at one of his favorite local restaurants, Valois Cafeteria (http://www.valoisrestaurant.com/). After, check out the new Charlie Brown exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. You can buy tickets in advance at http://www.msichicago.org/. We recommend doing so, as the exhibit just opened. After a day at the museum, who doesn't want some ice cream?! Grab a cone at the Baskin Robbins located at 1400 E 53rd St., where the Obama's had their first kiss! Find the plaque recognizing their smooch and maybe recreate the moment with your own honey...
