What an awesome time we had in Chicago!
We flew in on Monday afternoon. Our first adventure was to get from Midway to the hotel using public transportation. I’m always fascinated by public transit because it’s never a decent option whereever I live. It was also much cheaper to take the train than a cab. Unfortunately, we ended up arriving in the city at rush hour so the trains got very busy and it was difficult to navigate our luggage, but we made it!
Our first night out we wandered around until we found Jake Melnick’s and had our first local pint. After a few pints there, we went off in search of something scrumptious. We found it at Heaven on Seven, a cajun restaurant near our hotel. I got the chef’s choice, a four-course meal designed by the chef. I was already full from our beers so I couldn’t even think about picking out dinner from their vast menu. The chef’s choice was perfect and everthing they brought me, except for the turtle soup, I loved!
