1. Terry Bison Ranch Resort
Cheyenne, WY 82007
(307) 634-4171
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Guest Houses,
Campgrounds
There is something very therapeutic and blissful about being among a herd of bison. Perhaps it is the majesty of the beautiful beast or their calmness. Either way, it is one of the must-do activities for me when I am in bison territory.
Besides the…More »

There are times when one needs to attend an artistic event to reignite the soul.
"Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All on that day"
After heeding Nina Simone's call, THIS Sinnerman headed to…More »

Categories:
Performing Arts,
Cinema,
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Lakeview
This is the poor, crass cousin of Chicago theater. The whole place is a vomit dump.
I was afraid to drop anything on the floor. It looked like the floor of a sleazy sex club.... don't ask me how I know about sleazy sex clubs.
We went to see Duffy. She…More »

This review comes a little too late, but better late than never
We went to watch "Nina Simone: The High Priestess Speaks" in fall 2006. I am a die hard fanatic of Nina Simone, how can I not go? I'll never forgive myself if I never see this. After all,…More »

Its been a while since I went to a piano…More »
6. International Society for Krishna Consciousness
I have been here a couple of times. I am not a big religious person or anything but, I wanted to check this place out. I had a wonderful time and everyone made me feel welcome. There was no "conversion talk" like other places. You can get a…More »

Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Ukrainian Village
I went here once after attending an event at the Wag Art Works. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and my friends got a pizza. Both items were just OK. Your typical bar food. Nothing special.
I ordered a Cosmo and the waitress looked at me as if I do not…More »
8. Cocktail
Chicago, IL 60657
(773) 477-1420
Categories:
Gay Bars,
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Lakeview
I haven't been to a boystown bar in ages. I am not the stay-late-and-party-till-the-s un-comes-up kind. I am too old for that $hit. Hell, I am getting close to 30. You know what that means? I am almost 50 in gei years.
I took my fabulous friend Preet…More »
9. Lincoln Village Cinemas 1-6 - CLOSED
WTF? #1: Had to wait outside in the freezing wind to get tickets because the ticket counter faces outside. Had to ask my man to pinch my butt to make sure I still have some sensation left. Now, the people waiting in line thought it was strange but, I…More »
10. Promontory Point
Chicago, IL 60615
(312) 747-6620
Ah, good times. A summer evening on the point with my partner , dog and a picnic basket. Can't ask for anything more.
This was the best part of living in Hyde Park near the lake. We took our dog to the point everyday. He loved it. Every Sunday we used…More »
11. Yelp Gets Hot Elite Event @ LakeShore Athletic Club
I am allergic to working out. The very thought of going to a gym makes me heave. However, I went to this event for two reasons: A. yoga, B. watch LOL make a fool of himself.
Both missions accomplished.
JT and JZ hooked us up with some sweet activities.…More »
12. Yelp Holiday Bash at Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro
I was somewhat worried going to the Yelp party because any Irish bistro in Chicago conjures up memories of being filled with smoke. Being allergic to second hand smoke, I hesitated to go to the party.
But, the upstairs was clean and spacious. I did…More »

Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market

I always look forward to this market opening. They have great produce and flowers. I love the different types of egg plants and potatoes you can get here. A must for every person who likes to cook. Make sure to take enough cash because you will want…More »
14. Landmark Century Centre Cinema
I love this place just because it shows independent movies that you cannot find elsewhere. The movie halls are clean and well maintained. I have always had a good experience here.
We usually eat at the Chinese restaurant close to this cinema hall…More »
15. Badlands National Park
I never felt so insignificant in my life. It's the feeling of realizing you are nothing but a minuscule part in a vast world.
You have to drive through Badlands to understand the grandeur of it. The tall mountains stand against vast stretches of land…More »
16. Mount Rushmore National Memorial
The best views, besides from the amphitheater, are from the parking lot.
Definitely see it at night when it is illuminated. The faces glow with pride.
It was smaller than what I expected but, definitely higher. I only saw it on postcards before and…More »
17. Corn Palace
What the eff?
Why do I keep being perpetrated in South Dakota? First, it was Wall Drug and now it is Corn Palace. I love a crass tourist attraction like most people, but this was a disappointment.
We kept seeing signs for "world's only corn palace",…More »
18. Apache Trail Scenic Byway
The best part of our family trip to Arizona, besides Grand Canyon. Among of the top three scenic trails I've driven through.
Discover old gold mines, go under a mine to understand how people mined for gold in the 50s, hear the legend of Superstition…More »
19. Custer State Park
One of the best parks I've visited in my life. Seriously!
After paying a short visit to Mt. Rushmore, we decided to drive to Custer park. I read about it online and the thought of seeing one of the largest buffalo/ bison herds got me all excited. It…More »
Recently updated lists from Krsna V.
Simply the best! (15)Just like the famous diva Tina Turner's song "simply the best, better than all the rest... better than anyone" |
Capital-istic (20)Fantastic capital city. My exploits in the wonderful capital city and suburbia. |
Downtown living (10)I am a Loop dweller. I have never been happy in any other Chicago neighborhood. |
Playin' it safe (42)The 3 and 4 star ratings. It's like you are almost the best. |
Chicagoland aka suburbia (2)Not all suburbs are dreadful. I would probably visit more if there is a flight service from ORD or MDW :-) |
Adventures around NY and NJ (6)Some places I visit to escape from the depressed locales of NJ and Long Island. |
Mr. United Nations (19)Back in the day, when I was wild child, I used to be known as Mr. United Nations. Not for the food, but for the number of flags on my bed post. Now that I have grown past my wild days, I am trying to keep the title by eating through various ethnic foods. |
Brokeback Mountain (3)Yes, I went there! I went to Wyoming to become a cowboy. Failed miserably at becoming a cowboy, but enjoyed my time otherwise. |
Date night (24)As much of an old couple we are (6+ years), we still do date nights often. Dress up, pick a proper place, the whole thing. One of the agreements we have in the V-P household is that we have to fly out for date night at least once a month. Hence, the various out of state places in the list. |
Trips to San Diego (3)I miss my bff. |
