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. Duchamp - CLOSED
*to the tune of Beyonce*
"All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies...
Now get yourself to Duchamp"
That was a horrible attempt to rhyme, but whatever, you get the point. Get yourself some smoking sexy…More »
3. 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 »
4. Casbah Cafe
I've got one word for all of you: Knafe.
Knafe, betches! Knafe!!!
I have been trying to find Knafe at many middle eastern restaurants. Not many serve it. And if they do, it is usually stale because they made it a week ago. If I have to hear one more…More »
5. 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 »
6. Avec
Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 377-2002
What do you do when you are having a shitty week compounded by international political/ bureaucratic drama, and a boss that looks and acts like a homeless person? Well, you say "fuck all of you" and go to a nice dinner/ drinks with wonderful company.…More »
7. Abyssinia Ethiopian Restaurant
A stunningly gorgeous man (the sexy librarian, Matthew S) and a beat up drama queen (me) decide to meet for dinner. After a few hilariously failed attempts at finding a dinner spot we decide to walk to a Thai place close to the librarian's flat.…More »

I love my hair. I actually do. I have never loved my hair so much. Thanks Jessie!!!
My partner took me here yesterday. He had an appointment with Jessie. After going there my partner decides he only needs to trim his side burns. I asked if I could get…More »

Update as of 1/05/2008:
They are one block away from my place and have become the default cleaners. I need to update this review as I need to write about two special incidents:
Incident #1:
My mother-in-law bought a new suit for me as a gift. I had to…More »
10. Sabri Nihari Restaurant
Chicago, IL 60659
(773) 465-3272
I feel the need to edit my review because the earlier one was brief and written in a state of biryani-induced daze
One of the best places to eat Indian/ Pakistani food on Devon. It has been our standard go to restaurant since Sizzle India closed it s…More »

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 »
12. Hyde Park Animal Clinic
I give this place 5 stars for putting up with my partner's demands when our dog was sick. We were both devastated when the veterinarian told us that Barnabee (our dog) has cancer and will not live long. He was our child and you cannot imagine the…More »
13. 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 »

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 »
15. 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 »
Recently updated lists from Krsna V.
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"! |
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. |
