Lance, did you ever eat at that Lithuanian restaurant over on Halstead? Called "Healthy Food?" 31st and Halstead, I think. I used to love that place. Damned good food, but more than anything an authentic old-world Lithuanian dining experience. The only things in the entire restaurant that looked as though they didn't go back to around 1930 were the punk rock/goth waitresses. I loved that place; wonder if it's even there anymore? Haven't been there in years, but I miss their pancakes.

I don't get much chance at good German food here in the Cities, so I try to hit the Berg at least once every time I'm in Chicago. Making me hungry just thinking about it. Bless you, Panda. Berghoff's was closed and my heart was broken. Bless you, Panda. Your post made me go look. Bless you, Panda. I see it's now in 4th generation hands. I used to work Downtown and occasionally the Friday daily special was Boullabaise. Phones would ring and a line would form. Yep. German Boullabaise! OMG. Thanks for the memories.

Oh, they closed it for a while? That's sacrilege! If I recall my Chicago trivia, they were the first restaurant to be issued a liquor license when prohibition was lifted. License #1. And every year when they renewed it, they would get the same number. I used to see it framed, either above the bar or in the vestibule. Can't remember which. You have outstanding taste, Lance!

License was in the window by the door for a long time. Berghoff closed a couple of years ago but I think it reopened, haven't looked recently.

Great responses. We appreciate it. Anyone have any luck or tips on getting an inserted vibrating pussy egg through airport security?

If it's plastic, that is..... LOL! Oh, wait.... the batteries will set off alarms. I don't know if batteries can be carry-on. BRB (I've typed it before... google is your friend.) Details at: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/batteries.shtm BUT! Easy..... Have a few spare sets (NOT lithium) in ORIGINAL packaging - these are legal in carry-on. She takes out device for portal. Dumps the used batteries in restroom. Goes through portal. Next ladies room, cracks a fresh package (pun IS intended) and away you go. Seems to be NO way to pass portal with "installed" batteries, but I'll wager 'tis the flight you are most interested in...... LOL! Now to the serious part as to why the loose batteries are not legal.... should there be flight turbulance, batteries that cause sparks are a no-no. There are carrying cases, but hey, man, you're going in two days. http://www.trcb.com/travel/airline-travel/batteries-and-carry-on-luggage-398.htm In this instance, pop-the device, batteries into carrying case, reverse process at first ladies' room on other side of TSA nonsense...... WHOLE THING IS ABOUT SAFETY, AND NOT ABOUT TERRORISM! Lithium batteries? Don't even go there.

Oh I can't believe I forgot Fogo de Chao http://www.fogodechao.com/ Brazilian steakhouse. And go to Ed Debevics for a milkshake and a burger if you're into kitschy stuff :D

I feel so sorry for the flight attendants on your plane! Just remember they frown on sexual antics on planes and in airports now post 9/11 (although Aileen is probably small enough that you might both fit in one of those tiny bathrooms). If the plane lands and marshalls are waiting, you may have a really shitty weekend ahead of you. Have a safe trip!

If the plane lands and marshalls are waiting, you may have a really shitty weekend ahead of you. Have a safe trip! I tend to agree. BUT what IS avaiable in most airports is the Family Restroom. Lockable door. Roomy. Designed for handicapped assistance. Moms with boys. Dads with girls, etc. Had a friend that put his slave into one, saying "Whoever I send into you, you will do whatever they want." Mind fuck, of course. Dom was preventing anyone from entering. Sorry, Dom/mes if I gave away one of your tricks. Let's see if Cleveland has one (or more) BRB - google is your friend! ------------------ That was ez-pz: Family restrooms are located in the center of the baggage claim level of the main terminal, next to the USO Office, and on the south end of the baggage claim level. One additional family restroom is located on Concourse A, just beyond the A checkpoint screening area. Family restrooms are large enough to accommodate two or more individuals, and are wheelchair accessible and ADA compliant. ------------- Have fun!

LanceHughes -> RE: Chicago (8/3/2010 12:34:00 PM)
DAMN! They be from Joi-say. Somebody said "from Cleveland" Arrrgggh! Just google "family restrooms" "terminal map" and whatever airport.....

Wish I had since they are closed as of December, 2009. http://www.healthyfoodlithuanian-chicago.com/ (Remember, google is your friend.) ETA: Opened in 1936, so you're probably right about bold part above.

I swear, I should become a personal travel agent.

Do not listen to Shore. He lives on Fantasy Island and has not learned in his 52 years that when a woman has a vacation planned, she gets her period. Even if she isn't due for at least another week and a half. So I'm sorry Shorey Baby, but tampons trump vibrating eggs...
