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}
{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.

Looks like you had a fab time...hmmm...so I guess definately a place to add to places in the states to visit.
