Problem: This might be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Service is terrible -- not just bad, but attitude, too -- from the moment of check in. The rooms are located above a courtyard that contains a disco playing loud atrocious music until 3am. I would say it was a nightmare...but at this point a nightmare would be preferable because at least I'd be asleep. Yes, I have earplugs and Bose headphones and it doesn't matter. To make the misery complete, there are large mosquitos in the bathroom. And to add insult... the minibar? A list of tiny bottles you can call room service to request. If I didn't have a splitting headache and weren't positively livid I'd just wasted $300 (and that on Priceline!) I'd say this place was a joke -- as it is, it's hell.

Problem: I really love my NY style pizza...thin, crispy crust...not too much toppings to weigh it down. But man, BJ's Chicago style pizza gives it a run for its money! I enjoy the pizza here and apparently a lot of other folks do too. This place is always packed for dinner! Very happening. Went here with the fam, and we had a blast. It was great hearing the game on the TV, people congregating and laughing, plates and glasses clinking. The atmosphere is pretty inviting, lots of dark woods and high ceilings almost reminding you of a gastropub. BJ's has a very large menu that includes appetizers, salads, sandwiches, Angus burgers, sliders, giant stuffed potatoes, pasta, and even a gluten-free menu (no gluten, in a pizza joint? Come on! It's pizza!)...but the Chicago pizza is the star. I pretty much perused the main menu and went straight for the heart, BJ's wonderful deep dish pizzas. They usually have at least 8-9 different pies on the menu and of course you can make your own with any of their ingredients. Every pizza comes with their special blend of FIVE cheeses. Their pizza creations include - BJ's Favorite Pizza (The Works w/ meatballs, pepperoni, Italian sausage, peppers, olives, onions, and tomatoes), Mediterranean (Grilled chicken, basil pesto, roasted garlic, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta), Sweet Pig (Pineapple, tomatoes, and roasted ham), BBQ Chicken (BBQ chicken, red onions, tomatoes, hickory BBQ sauce, and cilantro), and the Southwestern (Blackened chicken, green chiles, chipotle sauce, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and cilantro) just to name a few. They even have calzones, and yes...a gluten-free thin crust pizza! I feel so sorry for you people that can't handle gluten. No deep dish for you! We ended up with a large BJ's Favorite pizza for all of us to share. Just to let you know they aren't cheap, probably around $10-24 each depending on the size and type of pie you get (Mini, Small, Medium, or Large). Mind you, these pizzas don't look large when they get to the table but they are DEEP. It's like a good almost two inches thick! I thought our family of four could finish the entire pie in one sitting but I was wrong! Our pie had six large slices and we could only eat a slice each! You definitely have to eat this pizza with a knife and fork...no folding slices in half folks! The crust is buttery, not too heavy, and completely cooked through without being soggy. The ingredients were fresh, and the veggies still had a light bite to them. The sauce was tangy and sweet. Overall a very delicious slice of pie! Yes, like pie! Very good pizza. We rounded out our dinner with a few appetizers, the Crispy Calamari ($8.95) with spicy marinara and lemon garlic aioli, and the Garden Medley Salad ($8.95) with romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, red onion, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette. Both very tasty. Although we were stuffed (ha ha...like pie?) our server told us we had to try BJ's Famous Pizookie ($5.95). After rants from the kids on how we never have dessert it ended up being ordered. Funny how they win and you don't even realize it. This thing ended up being delicious! Like sweet crack! Not that I've tried crack before. The Pizookie is a hot out of the oven, fresh baked cookie topped with vanilla ice cream and served in it's own mini deep dish tin. We got a chocolate chunk cookie, but you can also choose, white chocolate macadamia nut, peanut butter, or oatmeal raisin walnut. So good! They bake the cookie dough until it's just a smidge underdone so your cookie is still gooey on the inside. Goes great with the vanilla ice cream on top! Good way to go to end a calorie busting meal! I wanted to try one of their hand crafted micro brews but I couldn't fit it in on this trip. I hear they also have a great happy hour M-F from 3 PM-7 PM and also on Sun-Th from 10 PM-close. They have $1 their draft beers and cocktails, $2 off most of their appetizers, and 1/2 off all their Mini Pizzas. I will have to go check this out on maybe a game day! I definitely want to go back here again soon, good food, good service, good times. Go here, and enjoy yourself before the crazy holidays! BJ's has made me a fan of Chicago deep dish pizza. NY pizza I love you so...Chicago deep dish, you can be my secret mistress! SHHHHHH!!!

Problem: I had a wonderful experience at Fancy Nails. First of all I walked in about a 1/2 hour til close, but I was desperate and they were open on a Sunday, when my regular nail salon wasn't. So bonus there! They have a great big selection of polishes too. I got a gel manicure from one of the male nail technicians and he was wonderful. He did such a meticulous job!! I think this polish will stay on for three weeks. It's been nine days and I usually see the start of the polish wearing off/growing out and .... nothin'. I bet I go 16-17 days with this polish on. He also gave me some tips about my nails and how I should request that no drills be used to remove my gel polish at all as it burns and pits the nail bed... something I didn't pay much attention to as I thought I was going to a professional before who knew how to take care of nails. Salons that are in a hurry and treat customers like cattle tend to use those drills to get clients in and out fast. The salon was very clean and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend! Great experience and spot on dollar wise... $25 for a gel mani. I'm going to try a pedicure this weekend.
