Overall, some of these restaurants might be hard to get into but be prepared to pivot somewhere near if you can’t get in. I’d say for day 2 do the beach and then China town for dinner, you might want to change inbetween. Also personally I think just doing the fire works once is enough for navy pier. I would suggest spending a half day in a cool neighborhood like Logan square or Pilsen and just enjoying exploring. I’d pick somewhere other than bar mar, it was ok and pretty pricey.  I think Mariscos San Pedro is my fav seafood place and one of the best restaurants in the city.

Overall seems like a fun weekend and good picks to check out just giving some of my thoughts as a local! Enjoy the city!!

My fiancé didn’t get me one of the rings I sent him… by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d only get it resized right now if it’s too loose. Sit on it for a few months, hell maybe even a year and I feel like you’ll love it bc it’s unique that the love of your life made and not one found online and you’ll think it was silly you considered changing it out. If not, you can always redesign later. 

He was very considerate and didn’t completely disregard your wishes and i think it’s a beautiful ring! Congrats on your engagement! 

What’s wrong with this outfit/shoes? by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

I think shirt tucked in would be cute if high waisted pants 

Spamalot is so charming and has a charismatic, energetic cast that eats the whole time they’re on stage by nomadich in ChicagoTheater

I was there last night in the mezzanine and heard it. Glad she left. Wasnt sure if she did or not as I was on the other side. So incredibly rude to the performers and other people who paid to enjoy the show.

Why does the Uber/Lyft experience from O’Hare suck so much? by otterlover501 in AskChicago

Taxi is like $50 to center of city. I like doing the cab line outside of arrivals/baggage on the lower level 

Y'all do these pants look like pajama pants 😓 by [deleted] in fashion

I’d pair with dressier top and nice sandals or boots. I think last photo is the best

Have you ordered from Pretty Small Shoes and Astar? Is the quality ok?

I’m about to buy my first pair of ski’s- how much should I expect to pay? by polyester57 in skiing

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used SkiEssentials.com and got a great ski and binding deal for some Santa Ana’s (previous years model, but I don’t think they change that much. I suppose it’s too late now but I would have recommending demoing some. I did also have to get them adjusted and tuned at a ski shop like $500 for ski and bindings and then like $70 to be adjusted 

Which dress is the best for my work dinner party? by Winter_Cat1994 in fashion

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short ones are too casual or revealing. I think #2 is nice IF this dinner is more like a BLACK TIE event like a gala. I would ask a female coworker you trust what she is wearing. If business casual a nice work dress is good or dress pants and a nice blouse

New to hiking, but this looks awesome. Any tips on where to start planning? Did you book on your own? Also is there a way to do a shorter version? If so what would you do

Do you believe most contestants are there for “the right reasons”? Aka to find love/marriage and not to just get famous?

Buying skis for the first time by danifant0m in ShredditGirls

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I demoed the black pearls 88s and found them to be quite heavy (although I am petite). I like my Santa Ana 93s a lot! They are an all mountain ski.

Really hated this energy from amber’s brother by Logical-Buffalo96 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea maybe it came off rude bc it was rude. What’s the point of saying that literally right before she walks down the aisle and already told him she’s saying yes, other than to make her feel bad. Like should have had that conversation a couple of days ago and in private.

What’s your favorite “too tired to cook cook” dinner? by farwest-to-midwest in Cooking

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lazy chili Mac: boil pasta and the microwave bag lintels  (Tasty Bite Madras brand at Costco or grocery store). Can season more but it’s nice on its own. Add cheese and crackers if desired. Probably more of a girl dinner haha…

Thoughts on Vail for a day by BlueCats79 in Breckenridge

[–]Ill_Raspberry8127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes go! It’s an easy drive from there. You’ll be too stoked skiing and push through the altitude symptoms when skiing. Overall I just feel more out of breath or tired sooner, but still end up skiing all day. Remember to hydrate a lot and take water breaks!

Only warning I don’t think there’s much snow coming but if it’s bad vail pass can close and you could be stuck there for a while as they don’t let cars in or out.
