I am new to Chicago and looking to explore the city. Moved from NY and I need to convince myself that it was a good move ...I LOVE dining out, goo red wine, live music, change in season, snowboarding, performing arts shows, brunch, stand up comedy, wine, playing pranks, movie nights (I hate sequels), cooking.
Also I looking for the greatest alternate music band in Chicago (that's the agenda for this Fall)

I was backpacking in Florence, Italy last year in October and there was a graffiti wall in the hostel I was staying in. There were 2 very interesting quotes on the wall:
1. If you are not living on the edge, you are taking too much space
2. Be Present.

And thats what defines me.

A glass of chardonnay in a speakeasy bar ....and then walking to the restaurant for a long relaxed dinner.
