Chicago pt 1

Just blew in from the Windy city, the windy city is mighty pretty, but they ain't got we we got no siree

I was a scene shifter on "Annie get your gun" back in the day and sadly know most of the words.

So Boy's birthday, 5 ninghts in Chicago, top of the H (Hancock Tower) for lovely and brutally expenive (this is not a cheap week) wine and cocktail, then off to Rocky Bottom brewery for wings and fries, had endless  great IPAs. 

Breakfast in appartment hotel, stodge, but free, lunch in Tilted Kilt, not PC, but calamari and fries were great, Art Institute was, as always, stunning.  Evening meal in Girl and goat -have to say defo in my 5, obviously nothing compares to Tapeo de Cervantes and because of cost, Vintage Kitchen in Dublin is a must, but this was superb, service, food, drinks all great.  Jack has some Pimms cocktail and said best cocktail Evah, we had goat carpaccio, duck tongues, baby squid and wood oven fried pig's face - pics  just fantastic,though battered credit card.

Jack's bf Jack came up from Virginia, had a mezze  cheese, olives, meat, humus, veg etc lunch in appartment, bit of shopping etc, got a great tie myself.  Went to Saigon Sisters for dinner again great, bit pricey, but expect that, Sping rolls both cooked and not (pulled pork), beef Pho, special was a pork noodle salad absolutley top.

Proabably science museum today, San may pop over, if so civilised, if not beer and pizza, Jack want to try proper Chicago Deep, not keen, too stodgy, but when in blah, blah...
