Just a reminder this is only a month or so away!

10811 NE State Hwy 104 #101, Kingston, WA



This started out as primarily a bakery but now has turned into a dine in establishment! Food is excellent but a bit pricey considering the location.
I would have to say service could be a bit improved especially when the place is hopping!

CHICAGO STYLE HOT DOG.....
mustard, relish, onion, pickle, tomato, peppers and celery salt on a Vienna beef hot dog packed into a soft steamed Poppy seed bun, if you're mouth isn't watering you might want to check your pulse.

Palmer House 17 E Monroe St, Chicago

If you're going to be in Chicago anytime soon stop by the Palmer House home of the Brownie! The first reference to the “brownie” in America appears in the Sears Roebuck Catalog published in Chicago in 1898. Specifically at the direction of Bertha Palmer to be served at the Columbian Exposition World's Fair in 1893, the brownie was created in the Palmer House Kitchen in the late 19th century.

The closest I've ever come to the Palmer House was standing across the street from it waiting for a Metro Bus, but now I'm thinking what a wonderful way to not only satisfy a sweet tooth but to sit and get to know someone!

If you're going to be in Chicago and looking for someplace with them plus food and cocktails, check out Devereaux on the 18th floor of the Viceroy Hotel.

I can only vouch for the cocktails and views, both were spectacular!

The Dearborn 145 N Dearborn St

I ended up visiting this place numerous times because of its location and goodies to satisfy a sweet tooth! My first visit I stuck with just the Chef Julianna's Hot Chocolate with homemade marshmallow that was wonderful! Because it was so friggin cold that day, the bartender asked if I wanted to add a shot of Bailey's to warm me up just a bit further but because I was meeting someone and didn't want to show up with liquor on my breath I passed.

My second visit I sampled a churro with pineapple mousse, ice creme, and a warm rum toffee sauce that was to die for!

If you're ever in Canada, drive across all of it...it's huge, geographically spectacular, and not very crowded.

Graze Restaurant, Madison, WI. It's up on the square. It's run by one of the best chefs in town, Tory Miller. He also runs Le'toile.

Homoe, clear out your private messages, please. I want to talk at ya!

In summer I believe there is a rooftop pool as well.

Not being a summer person I opt for the romantic winter vibe without all the chatter and splashing!

OK homoe was looking forward to someone else posting in this thread so here is a short list of places you must visit / things you must do if you're in Denver:

Brunch at Beatrice and Woodsley. Second best Bloody Mary in the Denver area and the dining room is filled with magical amber light and aspen trunks. (I'm going to try to post a photo, forgive me if it doesn't work.) They have big comfy booths but I also love eating breakfast at the bar because the bartenders are friendly and really fascinating to watch.

C'mon Homoe, if someone's in Chicago for 1 night on the town, they really should go to the Sear's (Willis) Tower's Signature Lounge on the 96th or 97th floor of the 110 floor building.
The elevator ride's worth every penny. Have scared quite a few friends on the ride up. It's an exciting sway.
Don't know the address...just look up.

By looking up you'll also see my #2 choice, The John Hancock building's lounge on the 96th floor. 875 Michigan Ave. in historic Streeterville. (wanted to get a condo in that bldg. what seems like a hundred years ago).

To be honest I didn't even know about this place until Valentine Day when my Chicago friend introduced me to it........

Between April 24th - June 2 2019? Then try and catch August Rush based on the 2007 movie about an orphan and musical prodigy searching for his birth parents.

This is at the Paramount Theater in the suburb of Aurora at 23 E Galena Blvd, Aurora, IL

If you've never seen the movie, treat yourself to it! It's a wonderful little gem..
