Fighter of the Nightman
- Chicago, IL
Only semi-on topic here, but we do not yet have a Penn State gameday thread ... any suggestions on where my wife and I should eat Saturday night?? We have Friday night reservations at Nando Milano (as good of Italian as I have had anywhere in Chicago, so we never miss it!), but we can't decide what we want to do for Saturday. I wanted to finally try that Crane Alley place in Urbana as we have really spent zero time in Urbana in general, but I was sad to see that it closed.
Our "fallback" is to just go put our name in at Papa Dels and have some more beers while we wait, but I am very open to trying something new. One note is that we are sort of suckers for a good atmosphere at least as much as great food (i.e., I'm sure Farren's is really good, but looking at pictures, the atmosphere doesn't look like it's anything special?), but not picky beyond that ... we can dress up for a nice Italian place, and we can dress down for a cool pub vibe like Blind Pig!
