The original VTNR. Where only 13-16 was green on the bezel. Very rare reference.

lol. My phone case is bright green. But I'll sell for a rare one-of-one to the highest bidder.

I'm just here for work for a few days. But love it when I'm in town.
Great Sushi at Nobu last night.

Have Parlor and Momotaro on deck.
Still have another night to pick.
Always love McCormick & Schmick's.
Staying at Nobu in the West Loop/Fulton Market.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

My recommendations based on my last trip to the city two months ago:

- Expresso Martini + Brunch go to Avec in West Loop
- General awesome brunch go to Roister
- Steak dinner either Maple and Ash or Bavettes

Both places are great for Rolex watch spotting :)

This. The bone-in filet at Bavette’s, paired with a Penicillin, the loaded baked, and strawberry vacherin would be my death row final meal if I ever found myself in the unfortunate position to choose one. At least I would die happy. I will be there next Sat night for my bday!

I hear you on that. Grew up in the burbs, moved to the north side for seven years, then moved back to the burbs, and then ultimately west to CA... Miss the city every time I visit

Restaurant at the top of the Hoxton Hotel there in Fulton Market called Cabra is great for dinner or a drink. Lots in area you can walk to.

Monteverde is pretty good. If you feel like a Guinness you can check out the new brewery they just built in West Loop.
