WWFB: Swank In the City Edition
The scene: Weekend getaway in Chicago.
In a hilarious twist, N and I got each other the same present for Christmas: Tickets to see “The Book of Mormon” when it came to the Midwest. He got us tickets to the Milwaukee show and I got us tickets for Chicago. We sold the Milwaukee tix and decided to make a weekend of it in Chicago.
We stayed at The Ambassador Hotel in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Our room was so lovely and luxe, and our dinner at the famed Pump Room was no different.
We ordered Chef Jean-Georges’ tasting menu with wine pairings. Everything was fantastic, but the tagliatelle haunts my dreams!
VERDICT: 11/10 — would do it again no question. Always order the tasting menu!
UPDATE: The Pump Room has closed but it appears the light fixtures live on at the restaurant that took over the space, aptly named The Ambassador Room.
