WHAT TO EAT IN CHICAGO

My bf coolly said "Don't worry, I read that in Chicago there are restaurants in every corner." Half an hour of walking around, finding nothing, hope was running low and I was getting cranky (not cute, trust me).  Lucky for him, we found Heaven on Seven, a restaurant offering the best is cajun cuisine.


{Heaven on Seven is know for its extensive collection of hot sauces, which include:
Hot Bitch At The Beach and its much milder counterpart Hot Buns At The Beach}

I had the Jambalaya and everything was okay with the world again.


{Ingredients: chicken, different sausages, shrimp, basil}

After all that eating, we had to working it out, so we went dancing...


WHERE TO PARTY

Chicago is home of the Two Step, a style of dancing that consists of two steps (get it?) and a series of simple turn patterns. It's very flirtatious and smooth, and I was awestruck when I first witnessed it at Funky Buddha.  But that's not all that impressed me. The DJ plays reggae, afro-beat, techno, old school hip hop, soul...and everyone grooves along! The music selection is so unpredictable that you can not get enough.


{The decor is very low key psychodelic meets oriental influences} 


{The Place gets packed after 11pm and the crowd dances like no one is watching}

On the opposite end of the spectrum: Y Bar. An upscale martini bar that is, pardon the cliche, a place to see and be seen. Nonetheless, it is fun and glamours, because lets face it, there's nothing wrong with being treated like a VIP. I felt like I was at one of those parties featured in The Hills. They even had scantaly-clad go go dancers on mini stages.


{Can you imagine dancing in those heels all night long?}

{A Night in the life of Chicago's Beautiful and Fabulous}

At the end of the night, it doesn't matter whether you spent a small fortune or spent your night dancing as long as you try a little bit of everything this city has to offer. That is what makes travelling worth-while.
