Chicago Geography Lesson Needed
Hi Everyone,
I spend some time on the Raleigh, NC boards but find myself travelling to Chicago for a convention at Navy Pier at the end of the month and could use some local advice. (Sorry in advance for asking questions on the first post.)
Anyway - I am curious as to which board will have the best info for my specific location. I'd prefer something within walking or short cab ride from NP.
I have tried using Google and Yahoo maps to get a general layout of downtown but I really can't estimate what is close by or not.
Looking for massage w/ HR (licensed or not) or a decent french lesson.
I'd also like to keep the cost at or below $.
Any advice that can be provided would be greatly appreciated and I'd be happy to return the favor to anyone travelling to NC or SC.
Thanks again,
Tony
Perfect info - Thank you.
[QUOTE=PeoplesElbow]If you are staying near Navy Pier, there is NOTHING within walking distance. If you research the the Chicago forum, you will find a lot of great reviews on places in Chinatown, which will be your closest location. It will be around a $10 cab ride. Make sure when you go to Chinatown that you stay in the area on Wenworth. The area east beyond the expressway and el, 22nd and State is still pretty bad, although just north of there is very nice.
Research the forum and also look for places on Craigslist under THERAPUTIC, NOT EROTIC.
Peace.[/QUOTE]Thanks so much for the information - especially about safety.
It looks like there are plenty of options in Chinatown and hopefully, I can do my due dilligence and pick a good one.
Best,
Tony
Visit to Alice Spa (Wentworth location)
Decided to try Alice Spa yesterday when I had a bit of free time. Simple to find, just head south in Chinatown, parked right outside of the spa. Papasan let me in after buzzing, 1 girl there. Older (mid-30's?), pretty face, great lips - couldn't understand her name tho. :(
Standard experience from what others reported. Paid $55 for the one hour massage, actually got a pretty decent massage. Worked out all the kinks, walked on my back, etc. After the flip, she was rubbing my chest and leaning over, pretty much mashing her chest into my face and then just went right to work on a hj. Tipped .4 since she did a VERY good job, I'd definitely swing back by there if I'm in the area again.
Downside is, as others have reported, the walls don't go all the way up so you can hear if there's anyone else around, but that wasn't really a problem yesterday. Seemed kinda slow, I was the only person there the entire time from what I could tell.
