Chicago lived up to its nick-name "The Windy City" today. Couldn't keep my hat on as we explored Lakeview, the trendy neighbourhood around our
hotel.

After a long day behind the wheel we were famished. A quirky restaurant caught our eye - the
Casbah Cafe - serving Mediterranean dishes. Nick, the owner, flipped the closed sign and gave us a hearty welcome. Having no license to sell alcohol, he gave us beers at no charge. Thanks Nick!
Nick's father and uncle from Armenia started the restaurant 50 years ago. He pulled down a photo of them taken back in the day. They looked like they were characters straight out of central casting, ready to play their parts in a Chicago Mob movie!
