And yes, I most certainly did use the Priceline and Hotwire links on this page to begin my search.  Thank you, Betterbidding team!

Awesome deal for this W property, which got a serious makeover last year. Please let me know if you have any city questions.

Thank you, Aaron.  

 

Some time ago, you mentioned a spice place-- market perhaps?-- in Chicago that you suggested I check out.  What and where was that again?

...as well as one of my favorite stores in the city, the Spice House, which is in Old Town - http://www.thespicehouse.com/info/chicago-spice-store.html)

Thank you, thereuare!

The Spice House is definitely a great stop if you're up that way. If not, they actually do sell their spices (well as their local blends) via their website. Walking into the store is definitely a feast for the senses. I order from them every few months. I also think Eataly (http://www.eataly.com/eataly-chicago/), which is much closer to your hotel, is a great deal of fun to browse around.

 

Let me know if you have any city questions at all.

 

enjoy your stay.

Thank you, Aaron.   

 

I did check out Eataly the last time I was in Chicago.   It was fun (and expensive).  I'd suggest that newcomers google Eataly before coming to browse through the various online articles that explain how the store and restaurants are set up.   Far more enjoyable that way, in my humble opinion.   Especially, if you are hungry.
