Thanks everyone for your kind advice. If I went to all these places, I would need more than a week...and I think I'd be really fat by the end of the week! I usually just end up following some colleagues who are from Chicago...we go out every night and they know a lot of places. We've done a fishing trip on Lake Michigan (I got so seasick that I was pondering drowning myself in the Lake as the better option compared to that). We pulled out about 70 pounds of salmon. We also went to the 95th floor of the Hancock tower. Nice view. Yesterday, we went to a blues place called Kingston Mines. I enjoyed that very much - liked the live music and there were quite a few pretty girls. Tonight we'll go to some place in Greektown with a group of about 20. I think for lunch I want to go back to Billy Goat's, it's just such a weird place.
Thank you Sir! I have travelled quite a bit over the years due to the nature of my work, and I have been able to frequent some damn fine restaurants in the process. Last time I was in Chicago (August of 2001) I ate at a nice place in Greektown called Santorini. They had some awesome seafood. I love to eat Greek style Lamb, so I need to check out Costa's. Hell, I need to make a return trip to Chicago!!!
JUST WENT TO THE CUBS VS ASTROS GAME - BLEACHERS - AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU - SOCCER PISSES ON BASEBALL FROM AN INCREDIBLY HIGH DISTANCE. THE BLEACHERS WAS LIKE A REDNECK GALORE KIND OF PLACE. OH YEAH, THE ASTROS GOT THEIR ASSES KICKED AND THEY SERVED LOTS OF BEERS. G0ING TO GREEKTOWN NOW.
The bleachers at Wrigley can be rough, especially if you are rooting for the visiting team! Did you go to the Cubby Bear before or after the game? Where in Greektown did you end up?
Just went to a place called "Le Passage"...there were some ball players there...most notably Bill Cartwright...that guy was like much taller than I am...and I am not used to looking up to people...not a bad place at all. There was also a guy who looked exactly like Shareef Abdur-Rahim, but that guy was a little bit shorter than I am and I am 6'6, so it can't have been him, I think he is like 6'9 or something.
In case that I forgot to mention, there were some beautiful girls there. But I decided to go home alone so that nobody would disturb or distract me while surfing Clutchcity.net. Plus, after reading the bbs today, I was afraid I might pick up a stinker. Also, I had to go back to my hotel to pick up my passport because these suckers would not let me in without it...I'm 31!!!! What did they think, I look like 15 oir something?!
