I love breakfast at Yolk on Michigan Ave., amazing cupcakes at Sweet Mandy B's in Lincoln Park, Scooter's custard, and great (most importantly CHEAP) burgers/hot dogs at Portillo's downtown. Obviously I mostly ate those 2 years, but I love Chicago. The vibe of the whole city is wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658324608798777023.post-26843800769404882292011-07-26T18:36:43.257-05:002011-07-26T18:36:43.257-05:00Ok, you've convinced me.

The water going thru the city - all the tourist shots I have seen have never shown this. In order for me to fall in love with a city it has to have water and this river going thru the middle of all the concrete is just awesome. Being from close to Vancouver BC Canada where I am surrounded by water its a huge requirement. Now I'll have to add Chicago to my list. Thanks for the beautiful and educational shots.

The last time I went was a few summers ago and I only went for a day to visit my sis at the Art Institute! I saw the spitting faces, the Bean, Buckingham fountain, etc. I really enjoyed the Bean, it was fun to take pictures and people watch! I only ate at one restaurant....Miller's Pub.
