hot date...where to go..??? (place)

Take her to Bin on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. It's the little cousin of the Bin 36 wine bar downtown, but is more casual with cheaper prices. It's quiet enough for a date, has a lot of "small plates" that can be shared, and you can't beat the wine.

Irazu is also just awesome--though it might scare an unadventurous diner. Maybe a second date there if things go well?

ive been to Bin before, it was nice...but i just had a really small and crappy table, so the experience wasnt as good as it should have been...she claims shes an adventurous diner...but ive heard it all before, so we will see

There's a nice Italian place on Chicago Avenue that's quiet and intimate... I can't seem to remember the name. I remember that's it's on a second floor and it's a bit pricey for Italian, but certainly not four star dining or anything like that.

Also, Enoteca Roma is another nice wine bar on Division Street, but I prefer to go there in the Summer to enjoy their patio. They recently raised their prices and dropped a bunch of the menu, so it's not as good any more (Bin is superior and close by). Another great wine bar is the Tasting Room near Randolph and Ogden, but the prices are also higher there now too. But if you go upstairs it is more quiet and there are some great views of the city.

Haha, I love enoteca roma...didnt see what it was like before they raised their prices or dropped things off the menu, but im fine with it now. thats like 2 blocks from my place...good food, lots of wine...and 2 blocks from my place...hmm...i think im going to try the tasting room another time ...thanks

also, check out Chicago Restaurants, Dentists, Bars, Beauty Salons, Doctors , they have tons of user reviews with lots of info about restaurants, bars, music venues, etc. and you can search by neighborhood.

[jiraiya]

haha, a true gentleman does not kiss and tell ...but it went really well ...ended up going to enoteca roma b/c she likes wine, and its only a couple blocks from my place. i must say, i thought they had a good selection of wine. ended up drinking 2 bottles of wine there
