The City Enthusiast: April 2009
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. Outstanding in the Field. Out, standing in the field. How funny are commas? This is such a different sentence when you add the comma.both are relevant to this particular post! Anyway, Outstanding in the Field. For our meal, Mindy Segal from the restaurant Hot Chocolate will be the executive chef. We'll be visiting the Chicago City Farm - with a great view of the city! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The City Enthusiast: February 2009
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Favorite Things Right Now. Bright swimsuits a la Juicy. Loving yellow this year! Cheap maxi dresses, thanks to Old Navy. Punky, tailored separates like these. Fun, geometric prints.I'm such a sucker for a) loud prints and b) dresses. Which will look infinitely better on me once I'm tan, but still loving them now! Why is it that simply shopping for spring/summer clothes just makes me HAPPIER? Friday, February 20, 2009. Oak Tree - 900 Michigan. So, I guess given my love of resta...

The City Enthusiast: January 2009
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Mighty Leaf - Chamomile Citrus tea. Recently we picked up a box of the Mighty Leaf Chamomile Citrus tea from Whole Foods. I have had it several times before, but hadn't noticed it in the supermarkets. It is definitely a premium tea, though after doing the math of what "premium tea" meant, I realized that is simply $0.50 per tea bag - just a fun fact. Brew some and test it out. Monday, January 26, 2009. I had heard it was a cozy neighborhood spot and that's what we needed.

The City Enthusiast: Art Institute - Free Februarys
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/02/art-institute-free-februarys.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Art Institute - Free Februarys. I think the title mostly explains this blog post, which is to tell anyone (er, all 9 of you) that doesn't already know about the Art Institute's "Free February" promotion! All month you can simply walk in and stroll the halls filled with such wonders as. I understand that you may not know exactly how to explain your art/work/painting/sculpture, but can't you at least ATTEMPT a name? In contrast, every third painting in Italy is.

The City Enthusiast: November 2009
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Fall, foliage, and 'leaf peeping'. Moving to Chicago last year meant experiencing all of the seasons from a fresh perspective. I had a new winter, new spring, new summer and a new fall. Despite the comparisons to other places I've lived (which I often do), I was actually quite pleased with the overall aesthetic of the "Chicago Fall". Monday, November 9, 2009. Fashion flix, take one. So, given my love of dresses and addiction to Netflix. Courtesy of the NYT.

The City Enthusiast: May 2009
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. The other item we tried was the Lump Crab Benedict - the eggs were cooked perfectly and the truffle hollandaise was amazing. The crab vs crabCAKE is up for debate, though this is a healthier option, likely. Toast makes great homefries and the potatoes are caramelized and crispy - the onions are hard to resist/share (sorry). Friday, May 8, 2009. I for one am quite excited for the outdoor Green City Market. Thursday, May 7, 2009. Being in the world of retail marketing as well as LOVIN...

The City Enthusiast: Lucky #13, or 14, maybe 15?
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/03/lucky-13-or-14-maybe-15.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Lucky #13, or 14, maybe 15? Last year for our anniversary, C and I went to Napa for a lovely 5-day weekend. Neither of us had been before and being the oenophiles that we are (or think we are) we were so looking forward to it.wanting the romanticized experience of tasting fabulous wines, but with the authenticity of finding new, unknown vintners to bring home with us. Our first night, we went to the Oxbow Public Market. For "locals night" at Hog Island Oyster Company. Lucky #13...

The City Enthusiast: Bacon Wrapped Gourmet Club - A night in Spain
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/03/bacon-wrapped-gourmet-club-night-in.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Bacon Wrapped Gourmet Club - A night in Spain. The theme for the first Gourmet club meeting was: Tapas! Everyone whole-heartedly embraced the concept and came prepared with lots of wine, garlic, olive oil, and bread. The conversations were fluid and varied, the kitchen a flurry of pans and pots, the table littered with wine bottles - success! We brought a Tempranillo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The City Enthusiast: Nella Pizzeria
http://cityenthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/02/nella-pizzeria.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Went to check out the new Nella Pizzeria in LP. This past Friday - we were looking for a low-key place to grab a bite, have a glass of wine, and not spend $1MM. Nella fit the bill. The place really filled up after I got there (about 6:45pm) but there were always seats at the bar. Good energy, good food, reasonable prices and walking distance are a winning recipe for me! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enthusiasm for all things city: food, drink, shop, art.
