Ready for the ultimate low key, yet really fun, date night? Recently Charles and I met up at Block 37 to spend some time together since we have both been traveling so much lately, and we want to take advantage of opportunities when we are both in town. When he wanted to do dinner and […]
Baskin-Robbin’s Warm Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
The summer heat has made its way to Chicago, and I couldn’t be any happier! We suffer through long cold dark and dreary winters, to be rewarded with glorious warm sunny summers. Chicagoans take full advantage of the warmth and fill the city’s beaches, parks, patios, and rooftops. Nothing goes with hanging out outside like […]

Latinicity
Tucked inside Block 37, on the third floor, you will find Latinicity, a food hall and lounge serving Latin street food from 10 different food counters. Think of it as an upscale food court with top quality food and a restaurant-like atmosphere. Recently some of my girl friends and I gathered at Latinicity for a […]
Schwa
Schwa. In 2009 GQ declared it to be “the most revolutionary restaurant in America”, and it is one of the most exceptional fine dining experiences in Chicago. It’s also one of the most difficult restaurant reservations to score in Chicago, and I finally got in. Years ago, I had a co-worker who was determined to get […]
