"I think all gay men have a fantasy of what their bar would look like if they opened one. Eastern Block is nothing like what I have in my imagination, but I'll be damned if it isn't more fun than a jar…"

"Cornelia's was always a favorite of mine. They've really upped the ante with the latest changes, though. The one thing that didn't go is the exceptional quality of food. Last night I went and tried…"

"Still scares me. I revisited this bar because my friend insists that I went on a bad night and that it usually isn't that weird. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it was even more weird! Think crowds of…"

"I stopped by Salute for the first time a couple weeks ago for dinner with a coworker. The atmosphere was very inviting and sitting outside was great. I had a few glasses of wine, of course, but the…"

"BYOB: I love Jai-Yen for a few simple reasons. The food is good, the food is cheap, and the food is fast. I'll often order my food by phone and by the time I get there it is ready for me (I don't live…"

"Every once in a while we'll order in Hannah's Bretzel for lunch at work. That means every once in a while I am unbelievably excited just before the lunch hour. Yes, it's true, Hannah's is my favorite…"

"WOW. I bought a Groupon for Geja's a few months ago and it almost expired before I made it here but boy, am I glad I managed to squeeze it in. Geja's is an amazing little maze of a restaurant. Whilst…"

"Let's see how simple I can keep it this morning. The food is pretty good. Not the best crepes I've ever had but certainly far far far from the worst. I really enjoyed the turkish coffee. Granted I've…"

"Being a bit of a cupcake aficionado (see my tour of NY via cupcakeries) I find myself duly authorized to speak on the subject of amazing cupcakes. That being said, with my most recent trip to…"

"I've been going here to do my laundry on and off since I moved down the street from it. I've never had a problem getting a washer or dryer when I do my clothes myself. This past week I decided to try…"

"My initial impression of the LBC makeover was a fantastic one. The new decor is great and honestly I'm a bit of a grilled-cheese-aholic. Indeed I was not to be disappointed and the food was very good.…"

"I've been to Cornelia's three times now. Every time I go the food is really good. Most recently I went for their new $19 brunch special. It's a prix fixe menu - you have a choice of one entree and it…"

"I just saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch at American Theater Co today and it was amazing. The theater is so cozy and the seating is really cute. Hedwig itself was a great production. I was thoroughly…"

"When you have the option to get rooftop tix why would you even bother with the massive crowds at Wrigley? Skybox on Sheffield is a great place to enjoy the game without all the fuss. My friends and I…"

"I wouldn't call Mi Tierra amazing, but I've always had a good time there. The food is good, the margaritas are actually very good compared to what you get at similar mexican places in the…"

"I once gave Hopleaf four stars for their great selection of beers. After eating there on Wednesday I have to upgrade that rating to a full five stars. The CB is one of the most delicious things…"

"I went to MoCP last night to see "The Transparent City" - a great collection of photos by Michael Wolf. The museum itself is small, just about five rooms, so they are fairly limited on what they can…"

"As far as corporate chain type coffee places go this is one of my favorites. The staff are always incredibly friendly and a few even know me by name now (perhaps an indication that I go too often!) It…"

"I came here with a sizable group of friends recently for dinner and I think I can accurately say we all had a good time. It looks nothing like you would expect a Chicago bar to look like inside, and I…"

"WOW - I loved the food here. I ordered three tapas plates: datiles con bacon, empanada de cerdo, and the ceviche. I have to say all three were amazing and I would definitely recommend them. I also had…"
