However, this has become the new normal. Many entrepreneurs, such as Regine T. Rousseau, of Shall We Wine have transformed […]

DoubleTree by Hilton Reveals Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

April 9, 2020 by Chi@glance

I remember last year around this time I was heading to the DoubleTree By Hilton on the magnificent mile to check out their Multi-Million Dollar renovations. I was in awe of the new restaurant (HotHouse), the seasonal décor, and their new 5 Feet to Fitness rooms. One thing that remained the same and (I’m ecstatic […]

I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was in I absolutely LOVE our artistic community! I was invited to an exclusive meet the artist event at Michelin Star @Esme_Chicago with acclaimed, Chicago born contemporary artist, @Hebrubrantley. The event was presented alongside @artehausstudios and @Framechicago.

The meet and greet was in celebration of Esmé’s newest menu transition and multi-sensory dining collaboration with Brantley. (Once and Future exhibition) Favorite dishes from throughout Esmé’s history have been reimagined through the singularity of Brantley’s narrative driven work and are utilized as a canvas to further spotlight his multifaceted ideas and powerful cultural commentaries. 

The restaurant is transformed into an immersive, pop-up gallery space, showcasing a selection of Brantley’s paintings and sculptures peppered throughout the dining room. What a fun way to mix art with food! Thanks to Chef @jennertomaska and team for the yummy cocktails and bites. 😋 Make your reservations on Opentable!

I’m back from 🇨🇼AND with tips. I got so many DMs t I’m back from 🇨🇼AND with tips. I got so many DMs that you guys are either going to Curacao or interested in visiting. One of my tools when planning trips is watching YouTube videos of the destination and then after I go I pay it forward and add tips of my own. 

For example…I love a local experience. I’m always going to hit up the markets or find the authentic cuisine restaurants.

Did you know Queen Emma bridge is closed until the end of September? No worries! There’s a FREE ferry that takes you across and runs about every 10 minutes. Go get your souvenirs and a good meal.

Why did I choose Lemon Beach club? It’s adults only and I wanted to relax on my cabana from 10am - 6pm with no kids around. 😅

Why did I choose to rent a car? 🚘 It was very reasonable and well worth it. $322 for 5 days from thrifty car rental at the airport. One shuttle ride from the airport to my hotel would have been $40. No Ubers in Curacao.

These tips and everything I did in 5 days is condensed into a 16 minute YouTube video on the @chiataglance YouTube channel. Are you heading to Curacao or interested in heading there? Save this post to help you plan your next trip. Where am I headed next? 🇯🇵
