Chicago! Man, what a city. I had the pleasure of spending a long weekend there recently. What don't I love about that toddlin' town? First of all, it was very clean for a major metropolis and the weather when we were there was perfect. It was the hottest day of the year there on that Friday.
On that great Friday afternoon, we
attended my very first Chicago Cubs game .
Wrigleyville is so rad. There are tons of bars and restaurants surrounding Wrigley Field, like Murphy's
(We didn't got to Murphy's. It was too crowded.), but it's a constant party before, after and during the game.
I, along with 40,000+ others enjoyed a day at the ballpark and the
after party in
Wrigleyville.
There are even bleachers on the roofs of the buildings surrounding the ballpark.
PS - Cubs won! (Against their rivals the St. Louis Cardinals.)
Never hating a player (check out is at 2:00pm), The James Hotel was an excellent place to stay for a Leisurely weekend in Chicago, modern, slick, fun, but not stuffy. There's a great bar in the lobby and attached to the James is The J bar, a rocking loungey type club. Stay tuned for the blog entry of David Burke's Primehouse, also located inside King James.
All this stuff comes with the room. Small bottles of booze were pricey, but nice to have the option.
Nice flat screen, nice view. In the corner was a "nook". Sadly, it wasn't used, but looked cool.
