Marilyn & tthe Magnificent Mile

Saturday we made our way over to Michigan Ave to see the Magnificent Mile. It is Chicago's largest shopping district, so you can imagine I was in heaven!!

It has fine restaurants, hotels, stores and several of the tallest buildings and most prestigious buildings in the United States, including Wrigley Building, John Hancock Center and the Old Chicago Water Tower.

It is also home to public art and currently has a 26ft-statue of Hollywood actor Marilyn Monroe. The statue pays homage to Monroe's notorious leg-flashing scene over the subway grates from "Seven Year Itch" , which oddly was filmed in New York.....


















.....and boys will be boys....


















After some shopping we made our way to RL Restaurant. Located adjacent to the world's largest Polo store, and represents Ralph Lauren's debut into the restaurant industry. It oozes the vision and décor of Ralph Lauren, and the food is inspired by American classics.














It is apparently one of Oprah's favorite restaurants, so lets be honest, if its good enough for Oprah its god enough for us. In saying that the food was DELICIOUS, with Dana announcing it was one of the best Reuben sandwich he ever had.

Cheers!
