Sure you made it out of Gary?
If you couldn’t scare up a good time in Chicago yesterday, that’s a you problem. It doesn’t get any better than late August/September in Chicago. It’s just an awesome time to be in that city.
I’m too damn old to recommend anything.
If you’re with a woman, take her to Le Colonial. But I warn you, you’ll never get rid of her after that.
You underestimate Cav.
they're reserving a table for frank Sinatra where I'm staying at, don't know if they realized he died 20 years ago
I always liked staying in Lincoln Park. Lots old bars with characters. My cousin lived in Lincoln and took me to an old shotgun style bar called Shoes. Served like 4 different beers. Smelled bad but everyone in there knew each other. It was like the scene in Gran Torino at the barbershop. Everyone called each other by stereotypes. You could walk from bar to bar. My cousin was funny. He asked me if I liked bar food and took me to another place. I ordered and asked if he was ordering and he said he hates the food there. He had Jimmy John’s delivered for himself. Dick! 🤣
I saw that the first three posts were all from Kurt.
Made me wonder what a post would read like if it had only Kurt responding to Kurt?
I love these threads. It opens up a whole host of memories and discussion. Thanks Kurt and drunken Kurt.
You KNOW it’s Goethe, kurt. You READ Goethe. Stop kidding around.
tobe fair old town today and tonight was a good time great Italian restauranter ate somuch can't drink anymore
drinking a boxed of water in the room never heard of such a thing , takes me back to elemantry drinking shitty chochlate milk out of a6 ounce carton , trading beets and 50 ce3nts for a peantue butter sandwiche , probably was the beginning of my enterpurial success
All they had in the Bahamas was the cardboard cartons of water like the unbelievable chocolate milk back in the day. UNBELIEVABLE
I recommend you drive straight thru and head toward Wisconsin
But that's just me.
My buddy coaches football in Kenosha. thinking about it.I recommend you drive straight thru and head toward Wisconsin
have you been to NYC lately? Chicago is a cake walk compared to the rotten Apple.
Sounds like you’re ok with spending a little, so the 5 stars downtown will be good. Peninsula is where the opposing NBA teams playing the Bulls stay so…. Nobu opened a hotel in West Loop, and that neighborhood has a lot going on these days for food/drank.

Gave up on the Windy some years ago. So different from when I regularly traveled to and through. Scarface would relocate from current environment. To bad, used to do be a real treat.
Maple and Ash is a block or so away from Waldorf if you’re into steak. I would pick it over Gibsons on the viagra triangle any day. My Chicago steak house rankings can’t be f’cked with:
1. Bavettes
2. Swift and Sons
3. RPM Steak
4. Maple and Ash
5. Gibsons Italia (not regular Gibsons on Rush).
5b. Chicago Cut
No Gene & Georgetti's? I admittedly haven't been to Bavettes or RPM, so it's an honest question.
The Drake... just old school and cool. Also a great location.
I suggested this a year or two ago in another thread and got booed mercilessly. Even though it's a little long in the tooth, I love that place too. The bar is worth it IMO.
It’s a nostalgia pick for people from the west burbs and the older crowd in general. People who live here don’t go there. Similar money to my other mentions, food way better at other places.
Definitely long in the tooth like The Drake… I feel similar about Gibsons on Rush. But, even Gibsons in Rush is better than G&G.
Gibsons Italia on the River bend has maybe the best dining room in the city. Steaks are better than the original location and the pasta’s are top notch. Plus a bunch of hookers hang out there so great people watching.
just looked at my bill, boxed water cost 9 dollars for 16 ounces, as a liberal I hate to do it but screw the environment and the dolphins going to have to return to plastic
It’s ok. All libs are idealists until it affects them personally. Join the crowd
