Wine Notebook, Part 25
(August 4, 2007)

Chicago
delights every time!
The best thing
about Chicago is that it's one of the most
dynamic cities in the world. The city is all
about dynamic energy.
This weekend was not
only the time for the Lollapalooza Music festival but
also the Gold Coast River North Art Fair. There
are truly a lot of very talented artists and
photographers in Chicago!

During the course of the
weekend, family members and I enjoyed the
following affordable eateries (not fancy, just
good food and character):
-
Billy Goat Tavern on
lower Michigan Avenue, just north of the
river. The legendary tavern still serves up
"cheezborgers" the way John Belushi
immortalized on Saturday Night Live.
-
Dick's Last Resort on E.
Illinois & McClurg Court. Due to move soon,
you can still enjoy this location's energy,
fun and good food. Ladies, bive the
bartender your bra, and you'll get a free
drink! Great beer is the beverage of the
choice. Try any of the available
micro-brews.
