Bob Chinn's Crab House Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Bob Chinn's "

Quote:
If you like seafood, here's a variety for you to experience. Bob Chinn's is most known for serving crab and fish but also serve steak, chicken and pastas for those who are not a fan of our sea creatures. The service begins with complimentary garlic rolls. Warning: if you're not a fan of garlic and/or grease, this is not going to be your appetizer delight. Otherwise, this packs the punch. Make sure you bring lots of mints and gum for the after experience at this restaurant.I particularly enjoyed my macedemia nut crusted swordfish on a bed mashed sweet potatoes, simple but packed with mucho flavor.

I know it sounds bi...Read More

This posh lounge rests atop the 95th and 96th floor of the John Hancock Building in Downtown Chicago. If you're ever lost and want to know how to get there just look up for one of the colorful top floors among the buildings in the city. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the rim of pink lights circumvent the roof of this skyscraper.Experiential Recommendations:1. When looking of the entrance into the building, notice the weird Cheesecake Factory facade. Not what I usually see as the CF's usual decor. Maybe I haven't been to enough.2. Entering the building, observe the mod paintings on the marble walls and make sure you follow the signs towards the correct ele...Read More
