Prior to my departure, I was able to sneak in a few great, Chicago meals, and they started with Beatnik on the River. My colleague/friend offered for fun, boho, Mediterranean or stuffy seafood. So, you can imagine how we landed here with those simple descriptions. Don’t get me wrong, I can get down for some…

Loewe’s O’Hare
The calm before the storm- that’s what the Loewe’s O’Hare hotel was to be for me. Feels like a grand state for an airport hotel, but I’m into the intense pressure of it. You see, European flights from Raleigh are currently all cancelled, so I had to fly through an American hub. Miami was out…

The Library at Topolobombo
Finally landed after a few weeks of hopping around for work and play. First came Minneapolis, then Chicago… All I’ve done is eat and drink truly indulgent things the last few weeks err months. Now that it’s a new month today, with few plans I decided to cut out the booze and carbs and get…
