No ma’am, I don’t have a boarding pass. I’m simply here to enjoy the world famous dining and nightlife at O’Hare International Airport

I did many good things this week but the best thing? Switching the default browser on my iPhone from Google’s latest AI “optimized” slop search to DuckDuckGo search which lets you easily turn AI results off entirely.
You should switch too. #FreePlug support.apple.com/guide/ipho…

I commend Parrots Bar on Wellington & Halsted (behind Castle @BinnysBev) to you every day and especially on Thursday afternoons for the service and for the excellent $10 burger special.
And the other specials are pretty mint too #FreePlug

Because even in this benighted age sustained tavern excellence like that offered by Monsignor Murphy’s eventually rises to the top.
Also…conveniently located to Friar Tuck & The Dram Shop for those desirous of a big evening of bar adventuring…or so I hear. #FreePlug

Can someone explain why Monsignor Murphy’s in Lakeview is suddenly so popular? I see people ubering there and I’m just so confused.

I think I saw those guys chowing down right before or after this?!?? Dang it.
Also my first visit to @NHLBlackhawks Fifth Third practice facility on Jackson (and their new liquor licenses) and super impressive facility. Breakfast spot too. #FreePlug

The Blackhawks didn't hold official practice today, but instead just sent their biggest guys out on the ice to learn how to fight:

A @SpitefulBrewing beer at another “I could’ve sworn this was a tavern licensed establishment” misfire for Chicago #TavernWeek2026
In any case Metropol Grill and SALOON at 4128 N Lincoln has a full bar and a very nice Diamond pool table for your consideration. #FreePlug
