ChiTown 002

Last night we went to La Scarola on the recommendation of some of Matt's friends who live here.

OH. MY. GAWD. It was so good. I wanted to wrap up the waiter (and the brushetta) in my pocket and take them both home.

If you can make out the photo right over my head, it's Johnny Depp with the owners. He was there last week while he was in town filming a movie. Le Sigh. If only we were here last week!

Oh well. The Pasta Lorenzo more than made up for it.

We then went and listened to some jazz because, well, you can't come to Chicago and NOT hear jazz.

Fabulous as well. My ONLY complaint is that, as Amanda pointed out, it's been pretty warm here and after 5 straight days of 105+ in Fresno, we were looking for relief. But no matter. At least we can walk everywhere!

Today we walked over to Sayat Nova on my lunch break and that was great as well. I was a little disappointed to hear that we wouldn't be able to make it out there while they had the DJ spinning hip-hop Armenian music, but I'll live ;).

I did a bit of knitting in the hotel lobby bar during happy hour this afternoon:


Got some funny looks but no matter. My conference is now officially over so I'm on vaction mode.

Yay! You went to Sayat Nova! That's my favorite restaurant. Sadly, I have never been there for the DJ business either.

Oh, and I was totally there while they were filming that movie...but never caught a glimpse of the sexy man. :(
