Movie Set Travel: The Break Up
Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's lovefest of a film, The Break Up, hits theatres today. Go see it as both of them could use a little ego boost these days.
Shot primarily in Chicago, the story centers on two yuppies staring separation in the face, with neither of them wanting to give up their precious shared condo. In the spirit of rekindling your romance to save your real estate, we offer you some choice romantic options in the City with Big Shoulders:
Where To Eat:
Narcisse
This swanky, downtown hot spot on North Clark is sure to get the old flame lit again. With private rooms like "The Boudoir" and extensive champagne and caviar menus, you can forgo the blah regular dinner menu and feast away instead. Grab a spot near the fireplace and try to keep your eyes on your date as the beautiful people stroll by.
Where To Toast:
Signature Room
Sometimes doing the cheesy, stereotypically romantic thing is just the trick. Head to this joint on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower and share a glass of wine while you watch the city twinkle below you. Soon enough, you'll forget what you were fighting about in the first place.
Where To Stroll:
Grant Park
Dating back to 1927, this park's centerpiece is the stunning Buckingham Fountain, which is a great focal point and place to begin your walk along the waterfront. It's lit with a computerized choreography of color spotlights at night, which is trite, but it works. Hey, some people are easily satisfied. If that doesn't work, the park's structure is based on an ancient French geometric design, sure to impress the most hardened of hearts. Let's hope you won't be browsing the real estate section of the paper after this doozy.
