Coco Bar

“Do you want to stop for a drink?” I truly regard this as a romantic gesture from my boyfriend. I do like to drink (hopefully and usually in moderation), but “stopping to get a drink” is about more than just consuming alcohol. To me, it’s more about stopping. For example, we had a drink at a Riverwalk establishment we had never tried before and enjoyed a view that we have seen in passing 1,000 times but maybe never took the time to really appreciate. That’s another thing I love about the city; its many, many, angles that trick you into thinking that you’re seeing Chicago for the first time ever.

It’s safe to say that I’m happy to be back.
