In addition to heading to Chicago later this month for the Hunger Walk<\/a>, I’ll also (hopefully) be checking some fabulous shops, sites and eateries off my list. Here are some of the things currently on my agenda:<\/div>\n

1. My first trip to Soldier Field<\/a><\/strong> (where the Hunger Walk takes place).<\/p>\n

2. Tour the Pedway<\/a><\/strong>, the pedestrian walkway running above and beneath the Loop, which plays a big part in HEXBOUND.<\/p>\n

3. Visit the Field Museum<\/a><\/strong>, which will play a part in a future DARK ELITE book.<\/p>\n

4. Visit Greer<\/a><\/strong>, paper store extraordinaire.<\/p>\n

5. Visit the shiny, new Orange Beautiful<\/a><\/strong> store.<\/p>\n

6. Dinner at Wildfire<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Enjoy my first visit to Taste of Chicago<\/a><\/strong> and sample lots and lots of deliciousness, including a visit to the Eli’s Cheesecake Co<\/strong><\/a>. booth for another delicious bit of cheesecake.

8. Visit Swirlz<\/a><\/strong>, a cupcake bakery.<\/p>\n

9. Visit the gorgeous Harold Washington Library<\/a><\/strong> (Little known fact: In an original draft of SOME GIRLS BITE, Ethan and Merit first met outside the library, where she’d gone to mourn her ability to roam the building during daylight\/business hours.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

10. <\/span>Visit the Rookery Building<\/strong>.<\/a> <\/p>\n

11. At least one (mandatory!) Water Taxi<\/a><\/strong> ride or Lake Cruise<\/a><\/strong>. Oh, how I love the waterses and being upon them.<\/p>\n
