I have had 2 of the most uncomfortable experiences at this Kmart. ON THE SAME DAY.
1. There was a homeless man sitting outside with a flesh eating disease on his foot. I know this is not the store's fault but it was probably one of the most revolting things i have ever seen in my whole life. Seriously, i saw raw meat.
SAME TRIP about 15 min later....
2. There was a guy arrested for trying to steal an IPOD. Uncomfortable part of this story is that he was resisting arrest and the patrons of the store were letting their kids go check out the scene. There was a 3 year old like 5 feet from this guy. WTF?
5 Minutes later... (when the police arrive) and i am running to the car...
The homeless man with the nasty flesh foot was gone. Coincidence? I don't think so.
So bad. Sooo bad.

Hannah's Bretzel
Categories: Chocolatiers and Shops, Sandwiches
Neighborhood: The Loop
I love me some Bretzels, and this place has some serious Bretzel sandwiches. The ingredients are soo fresh and delicious. I love the Hannah's club. Its like a classy version of the beach club at JJ's.
Also a plus that it is all organic.
The sides are just MEH. I paid 4 dollars for barley soup. (Which, by the way, i asked if it was Beef and the guy said yes) It was not so tasty. And by not so tasty i mean i threw it out after drinking the broth. The chips are also just so-so. Honestly, a side isnt even needed since the sandwich is so big, and tasty.

Big Hair
Category: Hair Salons
Neighborhood: Roscoe Village
I came to Big hair by the suggestion of a friend. I had recently had a really bad hair cutting experiencing.. (see my reviews of Hair Cuttery) So i needed a fix, fast. Big Hair definitely came to the rescue.
Ayla and Stephanie have both cut my hair. They are both fantastic, and did exactly what i wanted. I like to give freedom to a good stylist, and they took what i said, put their spin on it, and made my 'do look fab.
And seriously, 20 bucks for a haircut? I was stunned. It is almost impossible to find a good stylist under 50. Love it!

Gross, Gross, Gross.
My co-workers and I call this place Del-Monster because it is so gross. Sushi...in a buffet? SICK. Worst of all i got sick like WOAH after eating here. Maybe it was the flu, Maybe it was the meat that had gone bad that they serve with a random red sauce and call spaghetti. Either way, i will never go there again.

Starbucks Coffee
Category: Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: The Loop
With out this Stabucks, i would not survive my life. I work in the same building so of course i visit this location AT LEAST once a day.
I have had pretty good luck with the staff. They are really nice, and make my Cafe Americano just the way i like it. Maybe it's because they know me... maybe its because they are awesome.
Don't get me wrong It has its downsides--- they recently did a remodel and it is very awkward during the morning rush. They were using some sort of mic system but that was a fail because i had to tell the cashier my order anyway.... and it wouldn't get made until that point either. They have ditched this process. Thank god.
I love you Starbucks. xoxox

Street Wise Lady on Clark & Madison
Category: Performing Arts
Neighborhood: The Loop
Dear Streetwise lady,
What are you singing? Seriously. I hear streetwise and then the rest of the words jumble together to form something that is incoherent. I have even gone so far as to tape you, so i can play it back and try to decipher what you are saying. (And so that all of my friends can know you... and judge you) Is it Wanna Wanna buy a Streetwise? Is it Good morning Streetwise? Is it don't you wanna buy a Streetwise?
Shut up, Streetwise lady on Clark and Madison.

Smoque BBQ
Categories: Barbeque, American (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Irving Park
Delicious!
Every single thing i have tried, i have loved. So far i have had both kinds of ribs and the pulled pork sandwich. I am not someone who just craves a BBQ joint, but i do crave Smoque. The sides are also awesome. My personal favorites are the Cobbler and the Mac & Cheese bake.
Famous Dave even gives their BBQ sauce a thumbs up!

Dominick's
Categories: Drugstores, Grocery
Neighborhoods: Lincoln Park, DePaul
I hate and love this Dominicks at the same time.
The only reason i love it: I don't have a car and it is right off the brown and red line. Convenience is everything to my life.
The REASONS why i hate it:
The store is dirty and has a cramped layout
There is a small selection of overpriced food.
There are copious amounts of college students
The lines are very, very long...
And my very latest reason to hate this store is the rude staff. I was using a Visa gift card to buy the groceries and the woman said in a very loud voice I'm sorry Mam but your card has been declined. I was mortified that she would announce it so loud. I didn't even begin to explain the card to the woman because i felt bad about the 20 people in line behind me, so i just gave her my real credit card and let it be.
I will continue to go there, but i will also continue to despise it..

Table side guacamole is delicious. If you are going to try this place, absolutely order the guacamole, and a traditional dish.
