We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel. The staff was fantastic but I'm not sure if I would stay there again. It was an old hotel and we switched rooms soon after I arrived because the room didn't have internet (?). They moved us into a suite, that as soon as I walked into had the theme song of "Three's Company" pop into my head. It actually looked like Jack, Chrissy and Janet's apartment. The best part was how the electricity flickered often and actually went out when I was in the shower. That was fun.
While in Chicago, we had some fantatic meals at: The Ralph Lauren restaurant http://rlrestaurant.polo.com/ , Le Lan http://www.lelanrestaurant.com/ and Topo Gigio (which doesn't seem to have an active website).
Through a connection, we were able to get tickets to Second City's "Between Barack and a Hard Place" which has been sold out every night. It pays to know people... The show was fantastic and helped me sort of prepare for my foray into Improv. I will be studying Improv at the DC Improv starting next month. I'm sure I'll be talking about that soon..
We also did some damage on Michigan Ave where I continued to feed my appetite (allbeit a new one) for Christian Dior shoes. I picked up that habit in Italy.
We spent an afternoon at Navy Pier which was a lot of fun. We rode the ferris wheel ate popcorn and took a short cruise to see the Chicago skyline. I'll add some photos below. And of course we couldn't leave Chicago without having some pizza at Giordano's. Fantastic.
Here is the good looking antipasto we had at Topo Gigio's restaurant.
Here's me looking tired and make-up free on the ferris wheel at Navy Pier.
