Went to Vera for the first time last night. It doesn’t take reservations but it was not hard to get table at 7 p.m. on a Thursday, even though Vera was on the “Best of Chicago 2012” list at Chicago Magazine. I had two companions and we managed to get through roast mushrooms, lamb pinchos, langoustines, paella, calcots, papas bravas, grilled asparagus and fried artichokes! Only the papas were generic. The wine list is quite original and the waitress made great recommendations. I’m definitely going back.

Heya outstanding website! Does running a blog such as this require a massive amount
work? I’ve very little expertise in coding but I had been hoping to
start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, should you have any recommendations
or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject however I just had to ask.
Appreciate it!
