The hubs travels often for work, and it was great to finally have the chance to join him over Labor Day weekend plus visit my cousin at the same time. Here's a rundown of our weekend - we ate a lot and the rest was family time for me so not much touristy stuff. Hotel Crown Plaza Metro - W Madison & Halstead - Hubs always stays here when he has to go to his corporate office, and it really is in a great location. My favorite things about it? It's close to Greektown, right off the highway, is convenient to CTA buses, and is within walking distance of Union Station. Restaurants Amarit Thai & Pan Asian Cuisine - Good food, reasonable prices. 600 S. Dearborn Blokes and Birds - Such a neat little pub-style restaurant just south of Wrigley Field. I had the lamb sandwich, which was just OK. Hubs got shepherd's pie - lamb-based. Very good! The service was fantastic! We got there about 6pm, right before the Cubs game ended, and I'm glad we got there
Love my toes in the sand, with a glass of wine in hand - best way to spend a Florida day! This isn't so much a blog as it is a collection of "where we went, what we did, and how we did it." Hope you find the information helpful!
