I just finished reading the October issue of Chicago Magazine, which I subscribe to in order to keep up with what is happening in my old home town. The feature article this month is "36 Fun Things To Do This Fall," very few of which sound like much fun to me. I would definitely take a pass on a weekend in a tiny upscale cabin near Starved Rock State Park, as well as train trips to St. Louis, Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, or Detroit. And yes! Detroit! Seriously. Attending a stage adaption of a searing poetry collection does not sound so great, either. A staycation at one of four new or remodeled hotels in Chicago doesn't sound like a bad idea, although at one of these establishments the rates start at $645 a night, although to be fair, it is on Michigan Avenue. However, I decided it was best just to check out the Hot List, a monthly column which features 10 Chicago area places everyone's talking about. This month, they feature restaurants with entrees such as hamachi with yuzu kosho, hiramasa with brown butter dashi, and spaetzle cacio e pepe. Yum! Probably it is best not to know what the hell those things are. But seriously, don't they have White Castles back there anymore?
