I made a reservation for 8am this morning for a cab so my business partner and I could go to a big "pitch" meeting.
At 8am, Flash Cab called and said "we're running late. someone will call you with an ETA."
Fortunately, we had allowed extra time, and even more fortunately, we managed to hail a cab - because they finally called us, to give us the ETA, at 8:27am. Almost half an hour after our reservation.
It was a snowy morning, but this is unacceptable for a reserved cab. Fortunately we made it to the meeting on time.

GREAT idea. But if you go there with a sinus infection, looking for antibiotics, you may be disappointed.
I appreciated the explanation, but the practitioner explained to me before the appointment, that they are very cautious about giving out antibiotics. Unless you have had symptoms for at least two weeks, they can't guarantee that they'll give out antibiotics. I opted not to risk the $59 and tough it out one more week.
I understand the apprehension, but I get sinus infections about twice a year, and as many things as I try, I never manage to kick them without antibiotics. After hearing this information, she was still not convinced that I would need them.
Like I say, I appreciated the disclaimer, but I hope this will keep someone else from wasting their time/money.

Fortunately, they eventually had moussaka. It was pretty dece. I go here often because it's really close to my office. When I want to torture my office mates, I bring in a Gyro from here. The fragrance causes them to go buy one for themselves. And they hate me for that.

Bikram Yoga College of India
Category: Yoga
Neighborhood: Wicker Park
I like the 105 degree heat, but I felt more like I was in an aerobics class than a Yoga class. The instructor was clapping, and saying things like "if it hurts, it's supposed to" and "don't take breaks - just fake it 'til you make it." I'm pretty sure she forced someone to do a pose, with no regard for any physical limitations they might have (I was in a pose, so couldn't see what was going on, but I did hear her say "don't make that face" to the person as she ordered them to attempt the pose).
It was a disgrace to Yoga. This must be why they call it "The McYoga."

Holy cow, these guys are awesome. They tore the roof off of the Chicago Short Video and Film Festival last night. My favorites are "Scatterbrained," "Naked," "Le Arthouse Theatre: The Fugitive," and "How Not to Interview," the short done for http://WorkAustin.com.
Watch out for them to be totally famous some day soon.

Their "magical" method of using the original hems on jeans is actually pretty ghetto: they sort of fold the material up into the jeans, leaving the original hems at the bottom, but also leaving excess material hiding under the hems. If you'd prefer your hems to drape relaxingly over your shoes, this method totally sucks, as it results in stiff hems. I took my jeans to another tailor just to get them fixed! They did a decent job on a blazer of mine though. Total bill for both: $76.

African Hut Restaurant - CLOSED

Usually Ethiopian food is the one cuisine that I don't really like, but this was actually quite good. Our waitress was pretty crappy though...she served me hot tea in a friggen glass! How am I supposed to drink hot liquid from a glass?
I'd put this a step above your standard Chinese restaurant, but they don't have brown rice : |
The place is pretty small, so it's more of a take-out place than a place to eat at.

I had some crazy good coconut curry tofu here, but they lose a star for not having brown rice. The back "patio" is more like a charming vine-covered brick hallway with a couple of tables on it.

I gave the cashier 20 bucks, and I got a key to a locker, and a little bottle of soap. I opened my locker and there were two (pretty musty smelling) towels in there. I took off my clothes, wrapped a towel around myself, put on my flip-flops (thanks Vito, for reminding me!) and headed into the steam room. I sat in there for about 15 minutes. Then I came out of the steam room, took a dip in the really cold pool, sat down for a bit, went back into the steam room, and repeated. I was in and out of the place in less than an hour and felt very refreshed.
Yes, there is a tremendous amount of bare old-man ass here. You would probably look a little strange if you walked around here in a bathing suit. And no, it's not a gay thing: this place seems to be mostly old-school Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian clientele. There is a feeling of establishment here and it seems like everyone knows each other. If you're going for your first time, you'll probably feel a bit of an outsider.
