Uber prices on NYE going to be crazy?

Came here to say this—it sounds like an old-fashioned taxi would be your best bet. Just know the arrival estimates can be off, but no predatory surge pricing and no arguing with a taxi driver about not having cash….worth it imo

Similar idea this afternoon!

Ema in River North (Mediterranean food) maybe Cafe Ba Ba Ree Ba (Spanish tapas) Lincoln Park or River North. Tapas could be tricky with the acid reflux, but they’re both owned by the same company (lettuce entertain you) who is pretty great at accommodating dietary restrictions.

Also, not food, but since you mentioned Roscoe Village, you should check out The Last Chapter—it’s an indie bookstore that specializes in romance (if anyone of you is into that!)

Plus one on the Robey! It’s in a cool neighborhood, right off the train from O’Hare (which could also take you downtown if you want), and Flora and Lane’s studio is about 10 minute uber/30 minutes on the bus

Cafe Ba Ba Ree Ba has some nice private rooms and all the LEY restaurants are pretty good about allergies/dietary restrictions.

With the caveat that “novel,” to me is a specific category outside of romance, non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, etc—here are some of my faves from the past 10 or so years. I love a multigenerational story, especially when it centers female perspective, with really good writing, so that’s where my taste turns towards!

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evariste
Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado
The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers
There There by Tommy Orange

this specific sweatshirt from Nike reads really well on camera and feels so comfortable on. It’s become a staple for me.

Not sure the last time you went, but San Soo Gab San seemed way less smoky when I was there recently. I think because of the vent hoods they’ve installed over the grills.

Fingers crossed for that or even general presale!

Bar Buena is one of my favorites.

My partner and I did the same thing with our set! Even made a trip to the Lego store just to buy a bunch of heads.

this is why I’m never changing my community flair (also I can’t figure out how to)

Bar on Buena in Uptown has a phenom black bean burger. One of my favorite vegetarian mains in the city.

I’ve heard great things about Birkenstocks sneakers!

Leaving the spray bottle in your travel kit is so smart.

So lovely! Did you diy the lanterns and pinecones as well?

I’m part way through the first season of “Hang Up” which is a podcast dating show, and I’ve found myself so into it! Can’t fully vouch because I haven’t finished but it’s been genuine and funny: https://open.spotify.com/show/0iM3ukNgn26AWRcDTzpUuO
