Stained Glass Museum in Chicago

So I am usually outside when at Navy Pier but during this last visit I went inside and to my surprise there is a Stained Glass museum near the end of the pier.  I could not get pictures of many of them because of the lighting from outside but what a great surprise.

My Visit to Eataly in Chicago

The Wine



So there is a place in Chicago called Eataly.  There are restaurants located throughout the space and a wine store that you can purchase wine to drink there or bring home.








Have a snack and relax with a glass of wine.  If you do not want to be stuck on one menu don't worry because if you sit at the bar or stand at an island table you can see the menu that features foods from all the restaurants.







Then there is the cheese store.  Pretty sure every cheese ever thought about can be purchased here. Let me just say "cheese, glorious cheese!


Cheese, Glorious Cheese

 



Who is going to eat this much cheese!




Then when you think you have seen all the cheese look there is more.
More Cheese



There is so much cheese it hangs from the ceiling.





The Meat



Time to see some meat after looking at all that cheese.





The Fish




Don't want meat or cheese? Do not worry because there is the fish.









Getting hungry?  Just order a mixed fried fish plate and eat it there.







Mozzarella


Getting bored?  Watch them make fresh mozzarella or attend cooking school.  All I can say is if you are ever in Chicago you really need to go to Eataly.
