Macy's burger

A travel blog entry by kit_adventures

... and time for lunch. We went to the Macy food court on level 7 in their State Street. A couple of different fast food outlets all with famous Chefs from the US based top chef masters series - Takashi, Samuelson and Rick Bayless. We had a couple of burgers from Marcus Samuelson's outlet. Value for money probably ok at around $12.00 per burger but really just a variation on a theme of burgers and fries and using name chefs to attract patronage but hey it worked ...

All Around Town

A travel blog entry by lrandal

Oy, the feet are aching (but not the ankle, thanks to a fine Ace bandage). But what can you do to shake hands with a city except walk?

We started off on a bus this morning, though, for a 3-1/2 hour tour led by an excitable but passionate docent of the CHicago Architecture Foundation.

We spent a lot of time over coffee to talk about things happened in our lives in the past few years and I was so happy to hear shadi and Gilda's points of views on my stories.� First we went to the post office. The african american lady who sold me stamps saw that I'm sending something to France and she started speaking French to me. For me it was as nothing strange has happened. I have even seen Europeans who start speaking Persian to me once they ...

... two. We finished them then headed out to do a little bit of souvenir shopping, to take another look at the bean in the middle of Millennium Park and to go to Starbucks. After that I headed back to the hostel to pack up my bag, shower and eat dinner and then hit the hay for an earlyish night as I knew I had an early start the following day. Overall it was a very successful day and it was nice having someone to hang with as opposed to doing it all by myself yet ...
