The Top of the Cock

One of Sheena's Happy Places is the Signatures Lounge on the 96th floor of Chicago's John Hancock Tower. Missed sunset tonight, dammit, but had a couple of newbies who were shocked and awed over the view. Lights below, lights above, a true feeling of being on top of the world. Pictures don't do it justice.

My fourth or fifth trip there. Was introduced to it 3 years ago by an old high school chum. Have made an effort to go back there everytime I darken the Windy City's doors. Toasted a very special 21st birthday there last year, a lovely way to start an evening that ended up with newly-legal ass flat on the floor of a discount hotel.

Not particularly special munchies - basic lounge fare that is satisfying and not overly pricy: spinach dip, cheese platter, guac & chips. A place where nobody really cares about the menu. Just that they have a good window seat.
