I'm heading to the Windy City today to meet up with best friends from college. I'm quite excited to see everyone and ring in the new year with them. I lived in Chicago for 8 months during my junior year of college and loved it. Chicago isn't a city I'd necessarily want to move for the rest of my life, but it's a great place to visit. We're heading to a bar in Lincoln Park for New Year's Eve. All you can eat, all you can drink top-shelf liquor, and champagne at midnight for $70/person. I think that's a pretty good deal, if you ask me.
