Chicago Culture

First of all, everyone is Chicago is somehow the most stylish, hip and beautiful people ever. How did they all get in this city?

Good Eats:

• Sushi Samba - fantastic grilled peppers as an appetizer; excellent mojitos with crushed fruit in the bottom; I had blackberry.
  
• Chicago Cupcakes - favorites are the traditional and tres leches
  
• Ann Sathers - great breakfast but the best part is the fruit salad b/c it's not just the normal fruit that most places serve
• Excellent Mexican but I can't recall the name of it.

Crazy Things:
We went to see "Jerry Springer Show: The Opera" which received rave reviews when it began in London. It was absolutely bizarre. Jerry goes to Hell and has to get Jesus and Satan to compromise on a special edition of the show. It was insane. I don't exactly recommend seeing it but it was a fun night.

Great Sights:
Millennium Park is beautiful; there are statues, flowers, family fun shows, and a fantastic outdoor theater. We also walked up Grant Park, past the enormous Buckingham Fountain (yes the one in Married with Children) and took a water taxi back to the Navy Pier. The water taxi was a surprisingly wet ride but the Ferris Wheel view at Navy Pier was worth it.
