The Windy City (Part 1)

Image
We made it back from an extended weekend exploring Chicago! And boy was it cold! They weren't lying when they called it windy. We were bundled up three layers deep and still were shivering. But it was nice being able to dress warmly and investigate a new city that actually sees a winter season. In this first part, I will review things we did during our three days there and getting around the city. The second part will be kind of a food review of places we ate at, but I will also include other hot spots around town that are must tries when in Chi-town. I will also include in the second part hotels and places to stay around town. View of Chicago from the 94th floor at Hancock Tower Observatory. We flew United in from Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and arrived in Chicago O'Hare (ORD) around midday Saturday. On our decent to the runway we flew directly over the city for an amazing view from above. If you are into stunning skylines, this is one of the best. Once we lande...

The Windy City (Part 2)

As you probably already know, there are many things to see and do in Chicago, but what we really want to hear about is the food! Am I right or am I right?! Although we were only in Chicago for a couple nights and did not get to eat a lot of places, the places we did try were phenomenal. I will tell you about them plus a few other hot spots that people are talking about and worth checking out when in town. Outside Giordano's on Rush and E. Superior Now, everyone knows you can go just about anywhere and get a pizza. And as a matter of fact, the pizza will most likely taste great. But until you try an original stuffed deep-dish pizza in Chicago, you’ve never really had pizza. I will start off with the place I cannot wait to go back to the next time I happen to be anywhere near Chicago. That place is called Giordano's! It is quite frankly the best pizza I have ever had. It takes about an hour to cook this monster of a pizza that you have to pre-order it prior to being abl...

The Windy City (Part 3)

There are so many hotels to stay at in downtown Chicago that picking the right one for your trip may feel a little intimidating to you. I was a little overwhelmed myself with trying to find a nice hotel at a decent price. Although where I ended up staying wasn't the nicest hotel around, I got a decent price for it. And like I have said in earlier posts, there just isn't really a bad location to stay at while in Chicago. We were just four or five blocks away from Michigan Ave. (The Magnificent Mile) and only three blocks from downtown Chicago.  We were also just three blocks from the nearest subway/train station. I'll go through a list of twenty or so hotels here. There are a few bargain, three-star type hotels on the list, but most will be four and five-star upscale and luxury places to stay. Now, I know some of these hotels are extremely expensive at a lot of times, but check the dates of your trip and you may get lucky and able to book an excellent five-star hotel. Or you...
