The Firehouse in Chicago was built inside an old, you guessed it, firehouse. It has been my favorite as a kid, and sadly had a large fire a few weeks back that's going to close them for a few months.

I recommend Le Colonial in the Rush Street district. A French-Vietnamese house reminiscent of old Saigon.
And a great place to take a girl. :)

There are so many couples that prefer intimate weddings. They want to keep their wedding quite private and within pre decided budget. For those couples San Francisco restaurants are best options. These restaurants provide quality wedding services. I also got married at a restaurant in San Francisco.

Since 1946 The Wonder Bar Steak House (wonderbarsteakhouse.com) in Clarksburg, WV. The BEST ribeye steaks anywhere. Surrounded by pics of Dean, Frank, Sammy Davis, Jr and great 1950's crooners tunes playing in the background.

To me The 3 Forks (Not written out but a numeral 3 and the representation of a fork burnt into a wooden plaque) in Three Forks Montana symbolizes the small town cafe that is filled at breakfast. My wife and I toured the US west for 3-4 months of each year 2014-2019....covid killed the plans to continue. We avoided the cities and visited small town America. It seems in each small (if they are fortunate) town there is that one cafe that operates as the hub. We love hitting them for breakfast. There always seems to be a group of old guys that have staked out a corner and there they attempt to solve the problems of the world.
My favourite moment was in Three Forks, and upon leaving one old guy greated another old guy entering.....He asked..."Hows yer day?". The other replied...."any day I go hunting is a great day.......today is a great day"

It is my ambition in my old(er) age to find a town with such a cafe and join the old codgers sitting in the corner, drinking bad coffee, solving the world's ills.
