Ms.Huxtable Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 XOCO - Rick Bayless' least expensive but most tasty restaurant.We did some fun things outside like the seguay tour, the architectural boat cruise and Navy Pier. Not great recommendations for this type of year, but highlights of our visit in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The D Funk Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 XOCO was fantastic, pronounced SHOW-CO if your asking someone where to find it. Go to a Hawks Game if they are in town! Kingston Mines Blues or BLUES on Halstead.(Great Live BLues) GOing to Chicago is more about seeing the things that dont leave Chicago, Those Blues bars are permanent fixtures . Go and see some blues. Grab a real chicago hotdog!! dont ask for ketchup! Celtic Crossings is an amazing Irish Pub if your into that! Go and explore Have Fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbacon Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yep, I'll have already left the windy city by the time it gets all blackhawky up in Oprahville. I'll be busy winning and sleeping all the way to Motown. Thanks for looking up the hockey schedule for me though... I was just going to hang around the arena around game time each night I was in town and ask around about if a game was going down or wheres abouts are some blues bars and jibaritos.

backbacon Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 So I frickin missed out on J Mascis tix. It was the only thing I was excited about doing. Any suggestions on how to get tickets to a sold out show? Dirt Boy, anyone? I suppose hanging around the venue might be my best bet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbacon Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Okay, the ticket search is off. Looks like we'll be leaving the area a few days early due to a death in my girlfriend's family. (grandpa)I guess there are more important things in the world than seeing J Mascis tmrw night!
