One of the first places I'll take out of town guests. Even though there's a long line, Doug delivers on the hype of the joint with great food and atmosphere.
Pros: Doug rocks
Cons: Long live - but deserved!

I have been to many different stylists over the years, but then after moving down to chicago for school I decided it would be best to find a good stylist in the city. Well, I found Melissa, a GREAT stylist.
I followed Melissa here from her old salon, and as soon as I walked into this salon for the first time I was amazed by how beautiful and relaxing it was. But what brings me back every time is the haircuts that Melissa gives. She listens to what you want and adds in her own expertise to create a style and a cut that is perfect for you. I cannot see myself going to anyone else!
I have yet to experience the spa downstairs, but from all of the rave reviews hopefully I will be able to treat myself to some spa services sometime soon!
Pros: beautiful salon, service

Sears Tower is absolutely one of my favorite places in Chicago. I know it is quite a ways to the top of it, where the Skydeck is so keep your eyes close if you're afraid of heights (at least until you get off the elevator). You have to pay a minimal amount to go up there but the view is amazing!

Atmosphere: Though very small inside, this well priced italian trattoria is very romantic... dimly lit at night with wonderful decor including partially exposed brick walls and a reproduced column from ancient greece... decorations are sparce, but the mood is great for a quiet dinner...There is little room between tables, so you if the people at the next table are talking too loud you can easily hear the conversation...
Food: The first thing i noticed walking in was that the menu was a xerox copy, not printed.. though a little taken aback, i discovered this is done because the menu at Roma changes all the time based on the ingredients they get... there are, however, a number of items always available such as the pizzas and the manager (who has worked with the owner for quite a long time) was willing to custom make a pasta dish if we didn't see anything we liked! We tried the quattro fromaggi pizza and a custom made rigatoni with eggplant.... both were EXCELLENT. I love pizza and the mixture of cheeses on the pizza was exquisite! My wife hates the taste and smell of bleu cheese, but still LOVED this pizza. I will say that it was a tad runny... the pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was amazingly fresh. We were so full we couldn't eat dessert, but were tempted by the tiramisu in the dessert case near our table... it looked decadent with the right mix of lady fingers without excessive filling (as is the case for most tiramisu i have eaten) ... it is supposedly homemade by one of the staff's grandmother's or mother's (can't remember which) ....
Service: the manager greeted us warmly and readily explained the menu and the ability to make custom pastas to order (very helpful since my wife and i are vegetarian). The restaurant was packed so the waitress was busy, but she checked with us during our meal to see how things were
Overall, i highly recommend. Food is better than the place around the corner: Dinotto, a citysearch 10best.
Pros: great FRESH food, good service, walking distance from Sedgwick Brown line stop
Cons: small space

Where can I start... This place is clean, has attentive and helpful servers and the food is awsome. I have never had a bad meal at the Sai Cafe. The sushi is always fresh and presented beautifully and this is the reason i come back at least once a week. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try and you will not be disappointed.

This store is perfect for a shopoholic like me. There's levels and levels of shopping to be done at this store so make sure you come with ample time.
But even more than the shopping, I love the bottom level of this store. The bottom level is house to their cafe and their chocolate shop. The chocolates here just smell so good. Just imagine with they taste like!!
The cafe is nice too and has a great selection of sandwiches and entrees to choose from. It is a great place to take a break from shopping.

The Shedd has been a favorite of mine since my parents took me to visit the aquarium at an early age. I love the way they have the aquarium mapped out , and how the group different species together. And at every visit I always learn something new or find a new favorite.
The gift shop is another great stop to make to get gifts for friends and family.
Pros: amazing selection of aquatic species
Cons: cost

I have moved or helped family members move a dozen times, using movers about 6 times. Big names and no names. This move was from Chicago to south of Joliet, so there was a lot of opportunity for disaster. This is the first company that a)seemed to care about what they were moving, b)did what they said they would when they said they would, and c)had a firm price. I would use them again, for sure.
Pros: Price was firm, showed up on time, got done on schedule
Cons: None
