Patrice Perkins is the City Editor for Chicago. She is an attorney by day, and lifestyle aficionada and bon vivant by night. “Work Smart. Play Hard.” is her approach to this thing called life. Patrice also owns a blog, My Lifestyle ZEN , which provides overworked professionals and entrepreneurs with ways to maintain their work life balance, while offering diverse entertainment alternatives throughout Chicago. Once the computer is shut down and the last file is closed, Patrice whips out her favorite handbag and unleashes her passion – enjoying life in her fabulous hometown of Chicago. Live Music. Boutiques. Festivals. Art Exhibits. Restaurants—she loves it all and she loves sharing the little known treasures that she discovered along the way. No matter your pleasure, Chicago’s eclectic mix of neighborhoods has much to offer. If fellow Chicagoans would like to write Patrice for suggestions on things to do in the city or if there is a Chicago event, restaurant, boutique, art or cultural event you would like covered on Miss A, please contact her atpatrice.perkins@askmissa.com.
