Soups that'll warm your inners.......
 
...
Same Day Cafe 2651 N. Kedzie Ave


Of course they have other items but it was soup and more soup for this frozen Popsicle! So good I had two in fact, in retrospect I should of order a bowl and had our waitress save a trip! My dining companion had a BLT which looked divine. If I'm not half frozen to death my next trip there, I plan on trying their pan potatoes.......

This, minus the bananas, was heavenly! It came with a whipped almond butter and of course more of the deliciously warm caramel sauce if requested!

My dinning companion stuck with the pancakes

I haven't explored much of the South Side of Chicago, but luckily for me my dining companion knows it like the back of her hand. We ended up here on a very busy Friday night and because she had some "in or pull" we got a table in short order. I am not a pizza snob let me say that right off the bat! I enjoy NY style, thick, deep dish, thin, hot or cold, fresh, leftovers, hell I've even purchased a frozen one a time or two but this pizza was delicious! All veggie toppings were fresh and the meat was not the least bit greasy. I was introduced to many of the waitstaff, other diners, and I think even one of the owners if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere almost as much as I enjoyed the food!

Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed..

Looking for a very unique place? ........
 
Longman & Eagle 2657 N Kedzie Ave Chicago


It's a hotel, restaurant, and bar all in one!


Just met up with some friends there and enjoyed this while we waited!

I don't know if I just lucked out or if the cookies are always warm. https://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bph...6c1BpP1A/o.jpg

I could of made a meal out of the bread alone!

Going to be in or near the Chicago suburb of Algonquin....
 
check out

Montarra Grill 1491 S Randall Rd


It's a bit more pricey and upscale than all my previous posts.

The bartender makes a mean cocktail and the desserts are out of this world. Try the french onion soup. It's a bit different but very good.

Two Spot Bakery 173 W Bell St, Sequim, WA


We got there just before closing and it was slim pickings, however the three cookies we were able snag were out of this world!

Christina’s Place 3759 N Kedzie Ave Chicago


We stopped in here on my last visit to the Windy City for St Patrick's Day and the thing I remember is all the very friendly people, both patrons and staff alike. It was very casual and had a great down to earth vibe.

The drinks were generous and very reasonable if memory serves me correctly....:hangloose:


Sidebar: I think it's rude and just down right disrespectful to ogle waitstaff especially when you're on a date with someone else, but that being said I do admit to stealing a few discreet glances.

If you're going to be in Chicago and looking for someplace with them plus food and cocktails, check out Devereaux on the 18th floor of the Viceroy Hotel.

I can only vouch for the cocktails and views, both were spectacular!

In summer I believe there is a rooftop pool as well.

Not being a summer person I opt for the romantic winter vibe without all the chatter and splashing!

OK homoe was looking forward to someone else posting in this thread so here is a short list of places you must visit / things you must do if you're in Denver:

Brunch at Beatrice and Woodsley. Second best Bloody Mary in the Denver area and the dining room is filled with magical amber light and aspen trunks. (I'm going to try to post a photo, forgive me if it doesn't work.) They have big comfy booths but I also love eating breakfast at the bar because the bartenders are friendly and really fascinating to watch.

Denver Union Station has a bunch of good restaurants including a Snooze (can you tell I'm into breakfast LOL), a bookstore, an ice cream shop, and a fancy schmancy hotel. Plus it's just a really cool place to hang out.

One more: Biju's Little Curry Shop is casual, cheap, and really good. It's kind of like if Chipotle had Indian food. Warning: the hot curry is HOT.

C'mon Homoe, if someone's in Chicago for 1 night on the town, they really should go to the Sear's (Willis) Tower's Signature Lounge on the 96th or 97th floor of the 110 floor building.
The elevator ride's worth every penny. Have scared quite a few friends on the ride up. It's an exciting sway.
Don't know the address...just look up.

By looking up you'll also see my #2 choice, The John Hancock building's lounge on the 96th floor. 875 Michigan Ave. in historic Streeterville. (wanted to get a condo in that bldg. what seems like a hundred years ago).

To be honest I didn't even know about this place until Valentine Day when my Chicago friend introduced me to it........

Enjoy theater and going to be in Chicago anytime........
 
Between April 24th - June 2 2019? Then try and catch August Rush based on the 2007 movie about an orphan and musical prodigy searching for his birth parents.

This is at the Paramount Theater in the suburb of Aurora at 23 E Galena Blvd, Aurora, IL

If you've never seen the movie, treat yourself to it! It's a wonderful little gem..:movieguy:
