I L OV E Chicago. I lived there from April 1980 to August 1983 when I left to become a Venture Capital Portfolio Manager and Vice President at Wausau Insurance earning a comfortable six figure income. The best diner is Lou Mitchael's near Union Station. The best club is the Metropolitain Club in the Sears Tower. I used to work at SIMCO where in 1981 or 1982 I started the Discover<R> card.
California: Rae’s Restaurant, Santa Monica
In true diner style, this no-frills joint is cash only and has no official website. You just have to rock up, but it’s worth taking a chance on. Featured in several films, including 2004’s Starsky & Hutch and Quentin Tarantino’s cult 1993 movie True Romance, this 1950s diner is a classic, from its turquoise-and-red exterior to its bottomless coffee and satisfying breakfasts (piled high with pancakes, bacon, sausage, and eggs). Fans also rave about the Nutella-loaded French toast and Belgian waffles.
