Re: The Official TTC Thread!
Katy, OMG that would be so awkward for our husbands. That's HILARIOUS! Anyway, brunch places... you're going to be downtown, there's a place called Yolk on Wells near Chicago that Sis and I went to after we ran the marathon. Oh there's a $35/hr massage place right there too. It's a massage school. Primo massages for $35 and gratuity is discouraged. So it's DIRT cheap. Only thing it's not private massage rooms. It's like hospital curtains separating each massage section. It's still quite private (very quiet and the lights are really dim), but y'know not your own room private.
Otherwise I judge brunch spots by their bloody marys. RockIt Bar & Grill has a bloody mary bar. Jerry's on Division has AWESOME blood marys, they do really good sandwiches too. Otherwise a bar called The Paramount Room by my house has SUPER SKEWERS they serve with their bloodys that are awesome. It's a like a kebab skewer of stuff: olives, pepercini, salami, pickle, etc. There's a place called Frontier that I've been wanting to try for brunch, it's a new-ish restaurant that specializes in "game" meat (e.g. venison, boar, duck etc), also bloody marys.
OMG I sound like a total lush, I'm totally not, I promise. But I'm already missing wine. Sis and I went to dinner tonight with one of our friends that has a 2 month old son. Sis and C were like, "oooh let's have some wine." C is totally like "I want WINE, I can drink again!" Sigh! That wine smelled SO GOOD from across the table. OMG I wanted some. I feigned "Oh I'm antibiotics" excuse, and C bought it. Sis already knows. She's happy.
