Well, I'm really enjoying discovering this fantastic city, and was looking for more recommendations for places and things to see/do here

I'm not really looking for anything specific, if there is any place (restaurant, bar, gym, barber, or absolutely anything) that you enjoy and would recommend, I'd love to hear it.

P.S. Anyone know a good dent repair place in the city. I got a few dings on the MINI that I'd like to take care of.

THANK YOU!

 

So

 

So far, the following places seem to be nice to me...

Food:
Brazilian Food- Fogo De Chao (La Salle, near Hard Rock Cafe)
Cafe Iberico- Spanish Tapas (near Fogo De Chao on La Salle)
Angelina- Nice little Italian place on Broadway and Addison in Wrigleyville
Flat Top Grille- A' La Mongolian BBQ, a little different.

Wearables:
I found some good work clothes at Filenes Basement on Michigan Ave...
Untitled near Clark and Diversey has some trendy stuff...

I'm so new here, that I'm sure I am missing some of the better places :-)

cheers,

-Matt

 

hey fellas,

for a quick and easy place to check out local spots in chicago, hit up www.metromix.com. they list clubs, restaruants, bars...etc.

ive used it many a times for new locations to hit up.

 

Cafe Iberico is fantastic. We had always tried to make it there everytime we were in Chicago (before we permanently moved here )

 

I triple the recommendation for Cafe Iberico!!!!!

The amount of food you get at Cafe Iberico for $35 would cost you $100 at other good restaurants in Chicago.

My only bad comment - don't order the special Catilian flan for desert. Its one and the same as Trader Joes creme brulee

 

Asian food: Ping Pong

 

I just got back from a weekend in Chicago. You should check out the "Body Worlds" exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. Incredible.

Where is it at?

Spoon Thai on Western is awesome too.

Can't wait to go see that! Glad that it's finally here
