re: Chicago for Cubs' game - hoopsgalore on 3/18/24 at 1:49 pm Definitely a good location w/ Brown and Red Line accessibility, and don't think you'd totally dislike it, but just a younger demographic on most of Wells. On the upside, you're near Second City for comedy shows + most of Old Town is walking distance from Gold Coast.... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Chicago for Cubs' game - hoopsgalore on 3/18/24 at 11:24 am [quote]Any other good bars? Maybe craft beer focused?[/quote]
Go to Tiny Tapp or Corridor before the Cubs game for craft beer. Corridor has completely fallen off since losing multiple brewers to Maplewood and MoRE, but they do have solid food.
Otherwise, check out the standard heavyweight brew... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Chicago hotel help (with kids) this summer - hoopsgalore on 3/14/24 at 6:22 am First and foremost, use Search on this board and F&DB for Chicago. There are countless threads. I live here, but wife and I do not have kids. Will help where
I can but probably a few city visitors with kids that might be more helpful.

re: Chicago for Cubs' game - hoopsgalore on 3/11/24 at 5:52 am I went for Iowa/NW last year.
I didn't sit there but seemed like LF bleachers were ones to avoid, for sure. Field is an E/W orientation because they need to back one EZ to the Cubs dugout - LF looked a bit odd with a whole lot of green between the stands and playing surface....

You'll be fine on the Red for a Cubs game.
Depending where your hotel is (i.e. Westin River North), hopping on the Brown or Purple at Merch Mart and getting off at Belmont is also... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (2) |

On the upside, we've had ~25 days with temperatures 70+ compared to just 5 days below freezing the last three Aprils. Well over half of April 2023 was 55+ degrees, which was fantastic. Still need to be prepared, obviously, but things have been mu... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

re: Chicago for Cubs' game - hoopsgalore on 3/7/24 at 12:26 pm [quote]Are bleachers preferred instead of behind home plate or behind the dugouts?[/quote]
Honestly, it's your preference. You get a nice view of the bleachers + couple high rises in Lake View East from home plate and dugout, but it's definitely a different experience from the bleachers. Know you... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |

In the summer, doesn't totally matter - all three in this homestand will be packed. If bar hopping Wrigleyville is part of the experience for your group, run with Saturday ... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Playa Mujeres, Mexico in November - hoopsgalore on 2/28/24 at 7:58 pm [quote]Do they have any live music, game nights, scheduled things like that?[/quote]
The resort throws a big fiesta every Thursday evening, I believe. It's a night of live music, drinks and food. They have some stations for kids, but you may have to consider the noise (people, music, etc.) for yo... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Playa Mujeres, Mexico in November - hoopsgalore on 2/28/24 at 2:29 pm I've been to Finest a couple times, most-recently earlier this month. Great resort for families and couples alike.

re: Yucatan/QR road trip. Ideas? - hoopsgalore on 2/28/24 at 6:55 am [quote]I've never done Tulum so I'm leaning towards that.[/quote]
Let me know if you end up going this route - we spent ~45 days in Tulum last year. Had a blast. Spent most of our time in Aldea Zamá (where Airbnb was) and Centro, which was more our speed. Did have a few fantastic dinners (i.e. AR... Posted on Travel Board Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

If this is the one downtown along the river / Swamp Rabbit Trail, it's a very nice Hampton Inn - fantastic location. Walk the trail to Southernside Brewing for a great patio.
