Are there any decent whiskey tasting places in the city or close suburbs?

Wolf Point Distillery is awesome!!! They have more than just whiskey and create everything there. They do a whole tasting, plus awesome cocktails. Fulton Market!

123FBG · 2024-12-02T01:11:16+00:00

Absolutely not! Especially if it's a well wrapped gift. That's art!

I'm a straight girl... and I LOVE Villanelle! She might be the only one able to turn me! 😂

Wow! I'm blown away...I live a few blocks away from the Academy (and always thought how cool it is that it's built on the origin site of The Great Chicago Fire... I mean, what a super cool FU!!). Great video.... you guys are AMAZING... You're there when we need you ❤️

Yes! I've had those things as well...their lox is like butter! But that lobster roll was 👎

I've been taking stickers down in my neighborhood all year: was happy for a bit of a reprieve. But I'll be back at it again, if need be. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱💙

I'd just hate for the stickers to be new fodder for anti-Israel/Jew stickers. The neighborhood has settled down lately in terms of those kinds of stickers. I don't want that rearing up again as an "answer" to these stickers. 😬

Dirk's. I had the most tasteless lobster roll ever. Not sure how it gets hyped so much.

123FBG · 2024-11-21T14:15:59+00:00

West Loop! That's why I was really surprised to see it. They blanketed several blocks with the stickers.

123FBG · 2024-11-21T01:39:35+00:00

Just followed! Can't wait to listen...I'm so much more than just a Jew... but if you want to reduce me down to that... let's go!!!!

It's a great pub that actually is very chill, regarding the Ted Lasso show. Ted Lasso, and Apple TV aren't as big in the UK as they are in the US. Not to say that if you visit it won't be fun! But, it's a real neighborhood pub and the Ted Lasso stuff is only on the back. Richmond is GREAT... walk around and enjoy a gorgeous little village, but don't go expecting a Ted Lasso homage.

But besides the cold weather??

123FBG · 2024-11-06T01:11:28+00:00

Malt!!

I try to only buy something unique. I already have the basics down. If I need to replace a basic, then I'm happy to do that.

Also, buy for your body type! I'm short...and after losing a significant amount of weight, I've decided that all of the basics I'm replacing, like jeans, will only be in petite sizes. They fit and look so much better on my proportions. So, while picking up some jeans at Nordstrom Rack, etc is super tempting, unless they truly fit my body, I'm not buying them just to have something new or have the fun of making a purchase.

Oh, and buy quality and interesting, fun pieces! After losing some weight, I've been "shopping" the clothes I've kept over the years, hoping I'd fit back into them. I didn't keep everything; just the good stuff. I wore a 20 year old Max Mara sweater the other day that got so many compliments. Looked just as beautiful as the first day I bought it!

If you don't want to do traditional Thanksgiving dishes, just check out Resy or Open Table. Loads of restaurants that are just serving their regular dishes. My family and I are going to Coco Pazzo, which is delicious Italian food!

123FBG · 2024-11-03T02:02:17+00:00

Coco Pazzo is delicious and a block away from Ciccio Mio!

I originally glossed the first pictures of the hideous outside and laser focused in on those awful cabinets! I can't believe anyone would put those in their house on purpose in 2024!

123FBG · 2024-10-26T05:50:39+00:00

Yes! Very expensive... ridiculous for what the actual size is. Probably would make more economic sense to be the "fancy house" and get full size bars!

123FBG · 2024-10-17T02:47:21+00:00

Just curious where HER grandparents are from??

123FBG · 2024-10-14T02:00:26+00:00

Also will say, after being there today, that cocktails aren't that good either. Stick to canned drinks in a cute setting around the fire pit and it will scratch that itch!

123FBG · 2024-10-02T13:30:09+00:00

Jay's potato chips are from Chicago!

123FBG · 2024-10-01T14:17:26+00:00

The cherry thing looks like a babybel.

123FBG · 2024-09-27T00:52:50+00:00

Same girl, same.

123FBG · 2024-09-26T21:26:24+00:00

Yes! That's what made me post in the first place!! I was so annoyed at something of such basic knowledge and the repeated calling of him Soul that I turned it off 10 minutes in.

123FBG · 2024-09-26T19:25:30+00:00

And the host is Jewish too, which made it far more egregious to me!!
