I know - we discovered that the rum chocolates at Cafe Rienzi were both
reasonably priced and a couple of them met the two drink minimum for the
entertainment (Tal Farlow).

I wanted to take the A train as it was the signature tune of the Duke Ellington
Orchestra and I had heard it numerous times either on record or played by my
mother. 
 
In the same era as that a friend and I walked from the Loop in Chicago to
Comiskey Park for a White Sox game. Wouldn't begin to attempt that these days
.... not least because I'm old and comfort oriented. And chicken.
