Gorstein has been nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for best performer in a revue for her work in the Second City E.T.C. show, "Oh, The Places You'll Glow."

She also wrote and produced the comedy film "Love Dump," shot entirely in Chicago, which won the "Best Comedy" Award in the 2022 New York Independent Cinema Awards.

She's lived in Bucktown for the past two years, and calls it one of Chicago's most underrated neighborhoods.

"A lot of people don't understand how incredible it is," Gorstein said. "So many good local spots, but it's also a comfortable neighborhood with families. It's the best."

Together, Val and Leila visited the Robey Hotel's rooftop bar, walked the 606 Trail, visited the gift store Eskell and made a pilgrimage to the historic Margie's Candies.
