Come to Chicago!

Dear Ones:

I want you to come to Chicago! I hope this is alluring.

1. There is an interesting church closer to you. It's south and west of Skokie. It's : Old St. Pat's Church, 700 W. Adams St., (312) 648-1021. It's in a poor/safe part of Chicago. The poor do not attend Old St. Pat's church, however; Irish yuppies from the suburbs do. good homilies.

2. Millennium Park, (312) 742-1168, is my favorite space in Chicago. It's at: Michigan Ave between Randolph and Monroe. It has fabulous architecture including: the Pritzker Music Pavilion, Cloud Gate, the Crown Fountain, etc., etc., etc, (25 acres just south of the Art Institute) usually free. (The Art Institute of Chicago completed a new addition recently; it has a huge collection of Impressionist paintings)

3. For lunch: Manny's Delicatessen, (312) 939-2855 1141 S. Jefferson, Chicago huge corned beef sandwich, poor/safe neighborhood.

4. For Sunday brunch: The Drake Hotel Restaurant (312)787-2200, 140 East Walton Place, Chicago On the Magnificent Mile, Breath taking view of Lake Michigan and Lake shore Dr., great location for high end/interesting shopping after brunch.

5. For good Mediterranean Food: The Parthenon Restaurant, (312) 726-2407 314 S. Halsted St., Chicago.

6. Best Pizza: Pizzeria Uno, (312) 321-1000 29 E. Ohio St. (between State ST. and Wabash Ave., Chicago luscious deep dish pizza.

7. The Million Dollar Quartet Performance, (it will take you back to your roots) Apollo Theater 2540 N Lincoln Ave. Chicago, about the night Big Bopper, Elvis, Carl Perkins and ?, performed together.
