It is on the 96th floor, which is 2 floors above the observatory. If you are lucky you can snag a table near a window and have fantastic views of the city. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136/page/2#post-421977 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 08:21:49 +0000 NNGM 421977@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Another very interesting cruise is the Chicago Architechure River Cruise. It is $32 on the weekends. The Lake Michigan dinner cruises do not go up the river. This tour is run by the CAF and has very knowledgeable guides. No food (except for a snack bar).<br /> <a href="http://www.architecture.org/tour_view.aspx?TourID=8" rel="nofollow">http://www.architecture.org/tour_view.aspx?TourID=8</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136/page/2#post-421967 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:59:03 +0000 NNGM 421967@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, and if you are looking for the cruise experience more than a sit-down full course meal, then Mystic Blue has a fireworks cruise on Sept. 6 for $60. The buffet menu is more of a light fare. I do have to say that the Chicago skyline at night is pretty spectacular.<br /> <a href="http://www.pyireservations.com/iebms/coe/coe_p2_details.aspx?eventid=67289&#38;oc=10&#38;cc=mystic" rel="nofollow">http://www.pyireservations.com/iebms/coe/coe_p2_details.aspx?eventid=67289&#38;oc=10&#38;cc=mystic</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421953 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:46:04 +0000 NNGM 421953@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Spirit of Chicago (which departs frm Navy Pier) has a Sunday brunch cruise for $47.90 per person. <a href="http://www.pyireservations.com/iebms/coe/coe_p2_details.aspx?eventid=65042&#38;format=2&#38;yearmonth=200909&#38;sessionid=ejkeimei1fekfhkfeofglfgmfckff1" rel="nofollow">http://www.pyireservations.com/iebms/coe/coe_p2_details.aspx?eventid=65042&#38;format=2&#38;yearmonth=200909&#38;sessionid=ejkeimei1fekfhkfeofglfgmfckff1</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421945 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:34:44 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 421945@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ok so I looked at the Triple D website. MC, here are the places he has visited. I don't have any clue which ones are conveniently located. White Palace Grill (1154 S Canal St), Smoque (3800 N Pulaski Pl), Glenn's (1820 W Montrose), Vito's &#38; Mick's (8433 Pulaski Rd), Kumas Corner (2900 West Belmount), Tufano's (1073 W. Vernon Park), Cemita's Pueblo (3619 North Ave). Adam on Man vs. Food visited Geno's East and a bunch of sandwich shop type places on his episode in Chicago.</p> <p>The lunch and dinner cruises are on the pricey side. If we were going to spend that amount (70.00 pp for lunch) we could dine at some pretty wonderful restaurants and get spectacular food and service.</p> <p>We have plenty of time to make a fabulous choice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421530 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:52:37 +0000 mollycat71 421530@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KYKAT, now THAT is a great idea! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421527 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:47:20 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 421527@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Should we look at the Diners Drive-ins and Dives website for someplace with totally awesome food? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421523 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:41:29 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 421523@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sold!

Carry on and organise away! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421517 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:35:06 +0000 mollycat71 421517@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No, no! I want to!

He is helping me to find stuff for us to do! :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421496 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:14:11 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 421496@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, it's definitely still happening!! I'm not coming all that way for it not to!</p> <p>All that's fixed at the moment is the date - Sunday 6th September. Can anyone else who's looking to be there shout up? NNGM, I know you were hopeful...</p> <p>I'm a little bothered that Mollycat might now have a bit too much on her plate to co-ordinate this &#38; book somewhere for us all to meet - Molly, would you rather I got Andy to book somewhere? Or are you still OK to do this? Don't want to give you any aggro you could do without! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421492 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:11:48 +0000 katthays 421492@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I want to be there....have to see if hubs is still unemployed! He has been out of work for 3 months now....will depend on that! Also, that day is our annual Bratfest in my hometown...we always work at it, but can get someone else if need be...finances will be the decider....I would never drive in Chi Town, so hubs would have to drive me! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-421491 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:11:26 +0000 NNGM 421491@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Still checking my schedule, but I am hoping to come too.

The one main thing I want to do is meet as many TDKers as I can :o) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-382648 Tue, 19 May 2009 14:09:22 +0000 NNGM 382648@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW, the thing about large cities like Chicago and New York is this: there are so many things to do that you could exhaust yourself if you are not careful. Are there any particular things that you really, really want to do or see? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-382623 Tue, 19 May 2009 13:54:36 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 382623@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hurrah! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/17136#post-382619 Tue, 19 May 2009 13:53:20 +0000 NNGM 382619@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>A long weekend in Chicago sounds great to me (Monday the 7th is a holiday here). I'm going to try to make it. </p>
