Tumbao Review
The food is great and great atmosphere. The staff is Friendly and I have nothing bad to say about this place except to get there early evening if you want eat a good old school puerto rican dinner. The mofongo is dee best, and da tostones are made like they are supposed to be made, dee best.

May Street Market Review
This is one my new list of favorites. It took me a while to visit after hearing great things from my friends, but I'm so glad I did! The food was artfully prepared, incredibly fresh. Fantastic wine list. I really enjoyed talking with the friendly staff, including the very knowledgeable GM. YAY!

A & G Fresh Market Review
This grocery store is one example of what makes Chicago so great. Their deli - WAY less expensive than the big guys - offers up almost anything imaginable, and then some. Pierogies, genuine polish sausages hanging for you to pick, varieties of ricotta cheese (european and mexican) ceviche, marinated meats.... The bakery is absolutely lovely and you may never want to make your own stuff again..... And best of all, really reasonable prices. I am so happy to have learned about A & G!!!

Disc Replay (Orland Park) Review
This store is the greatest, everyone is really nice, epsecially that one guy who's been there the longest. I forgot his name, but all I know is that my ex-girlfriend broke up with me because she couldn't get enough of this dude. Great store, not only do they take your cd's and dvd's, look out, they might steal your date!

Harry Caray's Tavern Review
Give this place time it will be a great Wrigleyville venue . Our burgers were cooked as ordered and the server was quick to the table to ask if we needed another refill.This is a classy place and a must stop before or even after the cubbies win in 08.

Capt'n Nemo's (Rogers Park) Review
I too lived around the corner on Jarvis growin gup.

I went in there the first day Cap'n Nemos was open and was hooked. The Cap'n and his wife remebered all the customers by name from that first day.

I have never had a sub as good anywhere else. The soup was out of this world. And I always enjoyed talking to Lou (Cap'n Nemo) and his family. The wait was always entertaining as the family interacted as they made your sub.

Is Lou still alive and working? I have not been back since my dad moved away from Jarvis in the 80's

I am so glad they are still going strong today.

Lincoln Karaoke Review
Wow! Absolutely unbelievable time, at a reasonable price. We had a birthday party here and got a free bottle of champagne, and also got free birthday shots! The owner is the best!

Third Coast Review
Two of the three best dining experiences I had in Chicago were at the 3rd Coast Cafe. While breakfast was a simple Western omelet, it was cooked perfectly and with bell pepper graciously removed. I am only a casual coffee drinker - I normally just think of it as my first caffeine inoculation of the day - but I was very impressed by the coffee. The 2nd meal was an early dinner of soup and salad. Once again, simple but so well done. A really excellent Caesar salad and a very nice potato and leek soup. Another notable issue was that everything in both meals was perfectly seasoned without being over, or under, salted. Such a nice surprise to have right next to my hotel. Service was just right - polite but not intrusive. I'm looking forward to returning on my next trip to Chicago.

Honky Tonk Barbecue Review
They were incredible ... EVERYTHING was incredible. We were given two sauces ... one hot and one sweet ... well we loved them both but we almost finished the whole thing of the hot one (sorry). We didn't have room for desert, but we will sure try it next time. I rather stop here or this is going to go on and on. All I can say, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!!! We WILL be back. Ohhh one side note ... right now it's cash only .. so make sure to bring some and if you forget there is an ATM in the corner. (FIN)

Asian Avenue Review
Love this place! The food is always great, whether we order takeout or stop in the restaurant. It's cool that they're BYOB, which saves you some cash, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend the tuna tataki, spicy tuna handrolls & the asian baby green salad for something light and different!

Bobby's Bike Hike Chicago Review
We did the lake tour with Kelly. She was awesome, the bikes were comfortable, the riding was easy and safe for all ages, and it is well worth the price (helmet included). Might not be as fun in nasty weather, but plan ahead, make sure to make your reservation, and you'll have a blast. Plus you'll get a little exercise and be friendly to the environment!

Bill's Blues Bar Review
Most of the Jazz in town is either that"free jazz" crap or college kids playing boring stuff. The Jazz band I saw on Wednesday with Mike Finerty was neither one of these . I really enjoyed them and I will be back. I also liked the blues jam but at times it was too loud.

Le Peep (West Loop) Review
The Chesapeake benedict is my favorite-$10 for two crabcake benedicts and potatoes! Perfectly poached eggs, tons of crabmeat, and a great hollandaise. Super friendly service, awesome pancakes-if you can get the white chocaolate raspberry, a seasonal special, you'll be in heaven! The blueberries are super-fluffy, too. The slick chick is awesome, too. It is a chain, but this one has been here for a long time and has tons of daily specials that make it a daily treasure.

Haussmann Brasserie Review
My wife and I had dinner at Haussmann and can't wait to go back. We live in the city and it was worth the drive north. The fare may be "American" but it has a lot of French influence. She had the Skate, served traditionally with lemon and capers, and loved it. I had the steak and it was perfectly cooked. We shared the charcuterie plate. While there wasn't any surprises,(which can be a good thing), the food was very good and consistant. The room was buzzing. We'll be back and can't wait to try their lunch.

Pizza Fest Review
As a manager of one of only 4 PIZZA vendors I was saddened by the lack of other places selling too. The idea of any fest is to have choices. There were to be 10 - 15 vendors there. Being that there were 4 it put a lot of pressure that showed up. Where we expected to sell 300 pizzas all weekend we ended up doing over 1000. Worked my whole staff relentlessly to keep up.

Being a hand tossing place with an image, unique ideas, and a bag of tossin' tricks I would have loved loved loved to bring my kitchen and crew there to show how its done but that wasn't an option provided....

There were pizza places allowed to compete in the contests that WEREN'T selling at the fest. If they wanted to compete they should have been serving there, and if they were serving there I think the reviews for the fest would have been a lot better as well.

After Words Books Review
I am from Canada and have lived in Chicago several times, each for about a month at a time. I found this store on my first visit and I kept going back each time. The staff is amazing, the books are always in great shape and they are never to busy to help you find that wanted work of literature or suggest something you would enjoy.

Pizza Fest Review
This event was very disappointing. All the pizza was delivered, none produced on-site. (I was hoping to see some wood ovens or grills going). The vendors often ran out of pizza, so that they would wait for more deliveries. All of the pizza tasted stale, and was often cold.

This "fest" seemed to completely miss everything that makes Pizza in Chicago special.
