1. Mariano's Fresh Market
Chicago, IL 60601
(312) 228-1349
Finding a good grocery store is like finding that ideal fling. The ideal fling makes you happy, satisfies your needs, you are in and out without attachments (oh, the innuendos!)...and the best of all, you WANT a repeat visit.
I love grocery shopping,…More »
2. Eatt - CLOSED
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 494-3288
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Bars
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
I consider myself particular about certain things. Some people (bluntly) call it being a snob. Oh well!
I refuse to patronize any establishment that bills itself as a dive, dive bar, diner, thrift shop, or hot dog stand. Of course there are cases…More »
3. Air-India
Chicago, IL 60602
(312) 782-6263
Neighbourhood: The Loop
Like most of my reviews this one deserves a context also. Here we go...
I am 100% Indian. That's right people! Even though my husband sometimes thinks I am more waspy than him, I have the genes to prove I am of Indian descent. Why am I saying this?…More »
4. Bombay Wraps
Mission #1: Find a decent Indian fast food place in the downtown area without having to walk all over Thy Kingdom Come.
Mission #2: tell my current boss to shove it.
Mission #3: get LOLycakes to lose weight.
One of the three missions was a mega fail.…More »
5. Drive Cleaning
I am a busy man. I run the world. I make things happen. I rule!
Just kidding. I am just a lazy guy who likes to feel important. Just kidding about the "feeling important" part. I AM important, dammit!
Anyway, I digress.
The man and I travel often for…More »
6. La Madia
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 329-0400
I like it when my ill conceived notions are disproved. Especially about pizza. I am a lover of thin crust pizza. Deep dish can go to hell for all I care. For years I believed Chicago cannot do a good thin crust pizza. I have tried numerous places,…More »
7. India House Restaurant
I like to think I am a connoisseur of Indian food (key word: like). I may know a thing or two about Indian food considering the fact that I am somewhat Indian (I have the genes) and I have cooked for large Indian gatherings. Those Indian aunties can…More »
8. Chicago Theatre
Chicago, IL 60601
(312) 462-6363
Categories:

Music Venues
Neighbourhood: The Loop
I saw Dolly Parton in concert a couple of weeks ago.
The only thing magnificent than the theater architecture was Dolly's fake boobs. Man, how does she "support" them? After all, she weighs 90lbs and they weight at least 20 lbs.
Beautiful theater…More »
9. Kan Zaman

Categories:

Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, River North
Yo, dawg! Do the downward dog before you get here. You will need some stretching before sitting on the floor style seating.
Rainy evening, dinner time, looking for something different from standard fare. We walk into Kan Zaman. The host offered us…More »
10. Atwood Cafe
My partner took me her one night after a movie. There were not many people in there because it was late on a weekday night.
Service was OK. It took a while to get our water refills.
Food is just OK. Typical American food, nothing exciting. There is…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. |
Chicken soup for the soul (19)Entertainment comes in many forms. You wanna be a cabaret star, get emotional at a play, join a cult... I even found myself on a roadtrip! In the end it is all about "chicken soup for the soul"! |
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. |
