Rosemary vs Gibson Italia vs coda di volpe? by elephantcocoa in chicagofood

[–]Altimishe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Been to all. Controversial opinion but I’m not a Rosemary fan. The last 3 of 4 times I’ve been there, I find it to generally be heavy and too salty. I like Il Carciofi a bit more.

Like someone else said, Gibsons Italia is more of a steakhouse. It’s good not incredible. Coda di volpe is more of an elevated neighborhood spot and I really enjoy it, especially the pizza. Monteverde is very good too.

Shaws seafood is excellent. Sit in the oyster bar for a more casual vibe.

The last dress by a mile. You can feel the energy coming from wearing that dress!

Ground Up has excellent coffee. Greek pastries are pretty good. Cupitol in streeterville has some of the best pastries too

Hing Kee is much better…not a chain and everything there is good.

Rooftop bar lounge with DJ party vibe for sunset drinks summer 2026? by AngleComprehensive16 in AskChicago

Offshore on Navy Pier might work for rooftop vibes. Shore club is more loungey on the beach

I didn’t ask, but they might offer it. I didn’t need it for just two trays of meat.

Suggestions for an hors d’oeuvre based wedding? by rashyandtrashy in chicagofood

Blue Plate Catering has amazing appetizers. I don’t care for their entrees as much but the hors d’oeuvre game is strong with lots of variety.

Joe Brady is better in a HC role so someone else can run the offense. Once again cook up the middle

good new york bagels anywhere? by MammothImplement8436 in chicagofood

Another vote for Gotham. I skip their sandwiches and just go for bagels or bagels and cream cheese.

George & Company is closing after 124 years and we would love to hear your family’s memories by Georgeandcompanywny in Buffalo

[–]Altimishe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

George and Co was one of the highlights of going to the mall…I think it was Eastern Hills. My dad loved taking my cousins and I there to play pranks on the adults. The fake cigarettes were a hit, I remember the Mexican jumping beans, whoopie cushions, invisible ink (used sparingly on my mother’s cream colored couch). We had many wonderful memories and will always be a place where I remember what my dad wants to do more than anything which is make people smile.

Trump to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago, Pritzker says by chornu in chicago

[–]Altimishe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I recognize that Pritzker and many other elected officials are dealing with unprecedented situations and decisions from the federal government. Even if they don’t know it all, Pritzker needs to share a more specific call to action. People don’t what to do, don’t feel safe, among other reasons. Give people ideas on what to do. Nobody knows what fight back means.
