cafeteria/skybar

p and i have pretty much been out of town for the past month. it started with our trip to south africa to watch world cup group games, a long fourth of july weekend in and around seattle, a weekend at my parent's cabin (what would a MN summer be without the cabin, really?) and a whirlwind trip to chicago, in which the primary goal was to get paola's colombian passport updated, but the real highlight was renting a couple of bikes and taking a 28 mile roundtrip ride through chicago on a 90 degree day on fat tires...whew! btw, lake michigan feels really effing good on a 90 degree day. otherwise, stay away, cause it's COLD. but, the point of this post is about the cafeteria and support group, which opened it's doors sometime while we were out of town. on tuesday, p and i decided to go check it out. mostly, to check out the skybar views. now, don't get me wrong, i like stella's and seafood, but let's face it, it's rather expensive and the rooftop rarely has space available. and the other rooftop competitor, drink, is just...well...LAME. so i was kind of excited to check this space out. i read some reviews and they were pretty much summed up in, "the food was okay, the waitresses were nice, filled with uptown pretty people, and the view was great." aaaand, the reviews were pretty much right. the food was okay, but i'm not a foodie, so whatever, a burger was fine with me. our waitress was nice, but lacked personality. the view was GREAT and the place was filled with normal looking people, which was a total bummer, because i was ready to look at lots of pretty people. i personally think my backyard spot, cafe maude, has MUCH prettier people, and that's not just because i go there frequently ;) all and all, p and i, without ANYBODY else, enjoyed a pleasent evening to ourselves.
