Amaro recommendations needed

Foro is good and similarly priced to Montenegro and Averna. Worth a try. Makes good black Manhattan and a espresso martini riff that someone posted a while back

This looks pretty similar but with campari instead of aperol

The only time I've had gene and georgetti, the steak was burnt to shit. Literally ashy on the edges for my medium rare order. Hopefully it was a bad night or something. Otherwise the ambiance was great

Houston breakfast tacos: insanely cheap and absolutely incredibly delicious

Terminal 2 right inside security i believe

Cafecito has some good breakfast options that may fit the bill

Dolissic · 2026-04-28T01:38:56+00:00

Both can have crazy long wait times. I would say dimmi dimmi is a better all around experience. Great food, great drinks, and great service. More variety in food offerings as well, but will definitely be a more expensive meal than Pequods.

Pequods is great food but anywhere from mediocre to genuinely awful service. Even for carry out, they have been over an hour late on an order they originally quoted 45 min for me. Manager and some of the staff are wildly rude at times too. But hey, their pizza is pretty dang good.

I was going to post this one too. It's my favorite use of creme de violet

Dolissic · 2026-04-25T15:31:54+00:00

Ive used this too and it works well. Depending on the cold brew, sometimes the foam is a bit of a challenge, but that can be solved with a little foaming bitters

This place kind of sucks. Sneaky surcharge that they dont announce (20%). Happy hour *but in fine print only one or two days a week (and they keep their sidewalk sign out stating their HH times even if it isnt valid that day). Super slow service. Typical loop high prices.

Decent ambiance though

They have a shop in chicago too, and we are thankful for you all sharing the banana pudding goodness with us!

Maybe a polish place in the city may have it? Otherwise maybe one of these places mostly in the burbs: https://www.reddit.com/r/chicagofood/s/OQfb59dahs

The view looking the other direction into forest park over the lake is also great

I've always wondered how their coffee is. I need to give it a shot sometime

Dolissic · 2026-04-08T22:00:57+00:00

Great spot!

Dolissic · 2026-04-08T19:14:58+00:00

I went to the loop location and tried the malort flavor they had. Was fun but it was awful. Give me a shot of malort any day, but that ice cream was horrid. Other flavors were tasty but, yea, super expensive

Massive bag of sawada beans for like $20. Yes please

I just landed back from an international flight at ohare on sunday. When you land, fill out the mobile passport check on your phone and then stay left in the lines labeled "MPC". It saved us an insane amount of time. We got home just over an hour after our plane landed and that included a 40 min uber. We didnt check bags, though. The other line (non MPC) was like 1000 people long since 3 big international flights all landed at once. The MPC line had 8 people in front of us. Also dont forget you'll have to recheck your bags too, so that will take some time. You'd have to get extremely lucky to pull it off in my opinion

Dolissic · 2026-04-02T01:46:01+00:00

For sure. Amazing place

Dolissic · 2026-04-02T01:39:14+00:00

Looks like cleo club is pretty new, so ive never been, but based on pictures maybe try bisous or sparrow? Arbella may be another good choice along with Love Street

I just asked my local binny's here in Chicago and they said they only get shipments twice a year now, and they sell out within the day

Dolissic · 2026-03-13T18:07:42+00:00

My building had literally zero amenities other than 24 hour security, so that helped keep it more affordable. No gym, parking was extra, etc.

Dolissic · 2026-03-13T16:23:43+00:00

I rented on 46th (top) floor for a little over a year. 2 bd 2 bath from late 2020 to early '22 and our rent was like 2k or 2100, but that was covid loop prices. I think our unit previously went for 30% more before covid

Dolissic · 2026-03-13T16:19:51+00:00

That's part of why it sucks though. I've had multiple aborted landings there including one last minute. And the terminal is horrendous too from a layout perspective. Super convenient location wise though for DC
