NYE Party

I didn’t personally know the hosts before the party (they were Sabrina’s friends) — but this guy is an AMAZING cook!!! The spread was killer - and even included alligator and crawfish.

So Joel would hardly touch the sushi. But by the end of the night John and I were taking dares about which one to eat next. (None of us are that big into sushi…)

Also stopped in at the Village, and an AMAZING place called RagStock. It’s incredible what you can find at thrift stores!!

Breakfast @Bongo Room

In my opinion, this is one of the coolest breakfast places in Chicago. Spectacular menu, great atmosphere, always packed — if you ever visit Chicago you have to go here once!

So we popped in a movie. In keeping with the “Chicago Trip” theme it is of course a good mob/gangster movie.

We spent the day today going to like every major landmark we could think of in downtown Chicago and taking a picture of “Sister Mary” my electric guitar playing nun statue at each place. Can’t wait to see how the pictures come out tomorrow!

Giordano’s

One of the very few places where two pieces of a medium pizza will fill each of us up. And we even had leftovers to take home.
