Moto is worth every penny for the first (and last) novel experience of food
even if it’s over $100
the sweet dishes are the best at Moto as well as the greek salad again (as I described it to a friend, it was the most complex dish I ever tasted—you first taste the liquid of greens and oils, a hint of cheese, and then it hits you in the back of the palate, an aroma undescrible, stinging, but not quite; it lasts for a few seconds this intense moment and it recedes as if you ate an entire greek salad
Wicker Park is in the shape of a triangle
a Chicago hot dog has tomatoes and relish that’s dyed green
the CTA (Chicago’s subway) does not sell 3-day transit passes at every station like New York City
CTA station agents don’t know what they’re talking about when I ask them where they sell such passes
the currency exchange that sells passes is not at 875 clark
in fact, that currency exchange only sells 7 day passes
the Chicago Stock Exchange room was carefully disassembled from its original location and reassembled in the Art Institute
Joe’s cats like to sleep in his bedroom
they wake up Joe up at 6 am every morning
if the bedroom’s doors are open, they will whine and scratch at the door
cats scratch the scratchpost when they’re happy (I think)
forgetting my powerbook’s power adapter wasn’t the worst thing
and it wasn’t that bad carrying a dead aluminum 12 inch brick around
I will always love how Elena is happy to drive
when you take cold medicine, you should eat before
this is the worst cold I have ever had
Jen hasn’t changed from Pittsburgh; she will oversleep many things
like 826 Valencia, there’s also a 826 chi-town, specifically 826 milwaukee
I’ll have to say the Chicago one is so much more AWESOME-ER
reminder to self, bring walking shoes when traveling
I will feel proud of myself when I don’t spend $100+ on a pair of Brazilian made shoes
don’t dip your feet into the streams of Millennium park; you’ll never know whose feet has been in there
restaurant service is so much better in Chicago than San Francisco
Elena’s fabulous 44th floor studio apartment near millennium park overlooking the river is only $1200/month
and Joe’s place is about the same…for 3 bedrooms!!!
I pay about the same for a room in a 2 bedroom apartment with no parking
isn’t relish always green?
it is, but in Chicago they dye it this unnatural neon green.
