Chicago getting ready for Christmas ~ Macy's ~ The Walnut Room

Macy's Downtown at Christmas is always an exciting time for young and old. My Hubby and I went to lunch the other day. I work seven days a week now till Christmas. So before I started we went to The Walnut Room in Macy's ~

This is an amazing place to visit. It's worth the wait in line. The tree is lite up in it's glory ~ The service is good and the food is excellent! I always have the Lobster Bisque and it is to die for! The Salmon was tasty and the creamy chives mashed potatoes are the BEST!  We shared the Frango Mint Ice  Cream Pie. It was AMAZING! There is a fairy princess that walks and places fairy dust on the tables with children dinning. I asked for a menu but was only given a copy. So I decided to show pictures of this enchanting place. If you come to Chicago this is a must have spot to dine in.

If in Chicago also stop in at Jazz'e Junque 3419 N Lincoln Avenue ~ 773-472-6450 for a trip down memory lane and some of Chicago's BEST Cookie Jars and retro kitchenalia. Visit our Retro Kitchen Museum (phone a head)

Eating Around Town

I've been going to Marie's Pizza since the 1970's. And the decor still has not changed. This is a nostalgic place. The 1950's booths in the bar and dinning room, I believe are original. But I'll say the food has changed. Go there for the thin crust pizza. They no longer serve wine coolers. Their cokes are a little on the flat side. The waitress gives you a little caraf so the glass stays full. They have a full bar and a liquor store. But do not have wine coolers?? They over cook their pork chops. So, do you have to order pork rare? The Italian beef is served without ajus on the side. Believe me it needed help. I asked about the Tiramisu and was told it came from a very good bakery. The Tiramisu was served frozed, it was dry and tasteless. The hubby said it had a refrigerator taste. The waitress was very busy. We went on a Friday night and they had entertainment. So the place was packed. I saw many families with children. When you go in you have to enter through the liquor store and on the wall is a charming vintage picture of "Marie's" looks like it dates back to the 1950's. If you are a Christmas person go there during the Christmas Holidays. This place has the dinning room filled AND I do mean filled with red and gold foil decorations hanging from the ceiling throughout. After your holiday shopping stop in for a pizza and enjoy the decorations!

Eating Around Town

Panda Express ~I have never eaten in a Panda Express before and when I saw one was opening near my house I wanted to try it.  I love Chinese food. Who doesn't? My Hubby and I tried it and we liked it. However the Honey Walnut Shrimp that's been advertised a ton of times on tv was what I really had high hopes for.........It Fell Short. It was cold, too sweet and the walnuts were hard as rocks. Plus you have to pay a buck more for the shrimp dishes. The noodle side dish was tasty. I'd order that for sure next trip. Don't order the Broccoli Beff unless you want 90% Broccoli and 10% Beef. This was good but..... I wanted a bit more of the beef. The Spring rolls were tiny, you get two. They were OK. Nothing to write home about. The Kung Pao Chicken was tasty. For fast food Chinese this is good. We will go back and try some of the other dishes.
