Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

Despite this sweet holiday falling on a weekday, my friends and I got “snazzied” up for dinner and a movie.  I didn’t think many people would be out and about Tuesday night, but plenty of couples and groups of friends were dining around downtown.  The original plan was to hit up the Grand Lux, but they do not accept reservations and the hour and a half long wait was too much considering our plans to see “The Vow” later that evening.

Our ingenuity led us to split up and find an equally charming and delicious place that could accommodate our  time constraints.  We ended up at Big Bowl, which doesn’t necessarily have that Valentine’s dinner charm, but the five minute wait what exactly what we needed considering our ensuing hunger.

I was very excited to see the movie, not only because Rachel McAdams is adorable and I love “The Notebook,” but I learned the setting is in Chicago!  I won’t give away anything, but McAdams’ character ends up living in Rogers Park at one point.

Overall, it was a great time!
