Last week Boston and NYC.  This week Chicago, New Mexico and Vegas.  Taking recommendations for restaurants and recreation.  Thx NC

You will have to help me out when you get back. Pretty much stay around Michigan Ave. and visit the pier with the restaurant and shops, but its been 4 years the last time I was there.  

I happen to be in Vegas this weekend and have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Jaydalee..  I would highly recommend.  She certainly has a presence on the Vegas board and lots of reviews here on TER so you can see if she is your cup of tea.  She certainly lived up to her reviews.  

Chicago - Uncle Fun - "see link"
New Mexico - Authentic Mexican Chili - it will set your hair on fire!
Vegas - Well, too many ATFs to mention

But he's have to wine and dine me a little first in the civvie world, lol.

I know in the first 5 mitnutes when I meet a man if I WANT to sleep with him (well not sleep because I snore). Doesn't mean I will, that depends on the flirtation "dance" and other things I look for before I'd take the plunge.

But "Ted" is damn near irresistible...

in the River North/Streeterville area, try Kiki's Bistro at 900 N. Franklin for superb French cuisine.  For something a bit different, try Russia Tea Time on Adams a block or so from the Art Institute, best Been Stroganov I've ever had, and an interesting collection of Russian Vodkas and Eastern European dark beers.

And dip it in the juice and wear a bib! I had one at Portillos and OMG it was so good I almost drooled.

As far as I know you can't get these anywhere else in the world.

I know the city is known for their pizza and you can eat where Al Capone dined on pizza but the Italian beef sandwich is often overlooked when out of towners want to what to eat while there.

Have fun...

Steph

I sure thought Italian Beef was some sexual idea.  Lol

....jealous

There is almost everything to eat in Chicago.  
Chicago style pizza is famous.  I love Giordanos, Ginos East or Lou Malnattis.
For an amazing view and a meal or drinks check out the Signature Room on the 95th floor of the Hancock building.  (Yes HanCock) Very nice lunch buffet too.
If you like specialty popcorn, check out Garretts on Michigan Ave.

Billy Goats tavern. It is a dive but made famous by a snl skit. It is on lower Wacker. Across from Trump Tower there is a staircase in front of a Walgreens that gets you there. Good place to grab a beer and burger for a quick lunch.

For some nightlife in Chicago, try the trendy rooftop bar at the Wit.

Coyote Cafe on Water Street. Sit at the chefs counter.
Geronimos in the gallery area
Maria's for some traditional NM food and great Margaritas (try the Don Julio silver coin)
La Choza for THE best enchiladas, chili relleno and posole

If you happen to like Asian food the Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill is my favorite place in Vegas,
I always make a point to stop there when I am in town ( and that used to be every other weekend!)
They have thee best Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken and the best fish I have ever had miso marinated black cod.
Safe Travels
Leilani

Depending on your tastes, here are my recos:
