West Grand Avenue

Quaint neighborhood right outside of busy downtown close to the United center, with lounges and bars within walking distance. Directly down the street from Navy Pier on Grand Ave. A few blocks from Harpo studios Bottom Lounge music venue. Free wifi, and a rare find in Chicago - free street parking!(when available, which is usually often.)

More about the space and the area: A converted storefront, Blush Lounge is located in the west loop area, in one of the most entertaining neighborhoods in Chicago, close to all the sights, where there is always something to do. This private bedroom is located downstairs. It has a big, comfy full size bed and TV monitor and a DVD player, sorry no cable. I have a few DVDs but I would suggest stopping by a Redbox before you come.

Entertainment Within walking distance of Mahoney’s Irish Pub, Grandbar which is a great lounge, Output, Beauty bar, and Union park which is host to many different music festivals and events including Pitchfork and North Coast, shows at the bottom lounge. the United Center is just down the street.

Food The pubs around here are known for their great food specials but for more family oriented environments there is the Breakfast Club is located directly behind us. They are said to have chicago’s #1 rated french toast. There is Coalfire, Chicago’s best flatbread pizza. Oggi’s trattoria, Kai Sushi, Bella Notte and Burger Baron are all next door. If you must they just opened a new Mcdonalds down the street. We also have D’amatos Bakery, the best fresh baked bread for a great sandwich. If you plan to stay in for the night we have a great wine store across the street with select liquor and beer. There is also Green Grocer across the street for all your grocery needs. For the coffee lovers: starbucks, dunkin donuts and a local shop called Sip are all within a block or two.

Transportation The grand bus stop is directly in front of our place as well as cabs, Close to the expressway, 2 blue line subway stops, making it easy to get from/to the airport, EL lines, and other public transportation connections. Metra Station a half mile up the road, for north and south bound suburban trains so you can easily explore this amazing city.

Hi everyone! Tracy here. :) I’ve been living in Chicago for quite some time now. Beautiful city to travel to! A little bit about me. I used to be a photographer but decided to change careers and become a Mortician. I love to cook and try new recipes. Love being a foodie and trying out new restaurants when the time permits. Love to travel as well, but Chicago is my Home for now! Happy to share the experience!
