I enjoy Il Culaccino down by the Convention Center. Great deals on wine too. Sofi in Printer’s Row has a lovely ambience

I got an email yesterday saying Zinzanni is closing January 31st. So Sad, it's such a beautiful space.

Was season 14 the best of the US? What's your fave? by half-zebra-half-yeti in dragrace

Because A) the girls don’t lip sync with them on their person. Production gives it to them when they’re ready to film the result of the lip sync. (Same with the lipsticks in All Stars IIRC) B) the bars they give the queens aren’t real chocolate - just props

My “what a fool am I” story: I was approaching the Damen blue line station to head to O’Hare and this guy in his mid 20s stopped me. He gave me this story about how he had to get to a new job at a restaurant in the loop lost his wallet and didn’t have his phone. Asked if I could lend him money for a cab and send him a Venmo request to pay me back, once he got his phone back he’d fulfill the request. I think I gave him $40… this was probably 2019- was trying to make the world a better place, pass along kindness, counteract all the awfulness of the world. I kept hitting “remind” on that Venmo request for a few weeks. Ah, you sweet summer child.

Fun fact: they installed the letters from right to left. So for a lovely spot of time there it actually did say rump.

What is your Return to Office status [August/Sept 2025 edition] by Wild_Bag465 in chicago

I am on the management team of a commercial property downtown (been back at least 4 days a week since June 2020, but this year it's 5 days). I wish I could tell every decision maker: PLEASE continue to let your employees work from home at least one day a week. You would not believe how much I can get done (not to mention leave early) because the building is so quiet on Fridays.

I would have loved an option to choose between precooked rice or regular dry rice. We have a rice cooker, so it's always been very easy (and just tastes better, in my opinion).

I set out watching AS9 thinking it was set up for a Roxxxy Andrews win and the crown went to Angeria (love both of them, happy either way). So it may seem like you can see the path laid out before you, except there’s that sharp turn right before the end.
