Chicago: Wave at W Hotel

This is just weird. How can there be a continental breakfast you can't see. This continental breakfast isn't set up on a table or two, it's in the real restaurant of the W Hotel in Chicago. Our free continental breakfast is included with our room. We just have to use it. We have to. All of the non-losers are ordering from the real menu.

I immediately had to problem solve my...

Bowl & Barrel is the most exciting bowling alley around town. Forget about nasty food and stinky rental shoes. This is a first class bowling establishment for everyone to enjoy. Bowl & Barrel describes itself as "the combination of a modern American tavern and a classic European beer hall." A definite attention catcher is hearing chef Sharon Hage developed the menu. A card at the counter...
