Music Performers Anthony Cassano and Joe Birigante publicly insult all Italian-Americans and no…read more one says anything. It was a Friday night and I was at Tuscanos Restaurant to watch the entertainment and have a cocktail. While I was there Tony Cassano and Joe Birigante were performing on stage. Their music style was pretty good however they continually degraded Italian-Americans by calling then " Dago's' and " Grease balls". They did this to the point of being rude and disrespectful. Not one person in the restaurant said anything to them. When Tony Cassano got off stage he played a song on the speaker system called " I'm a Dago" and version of " Amadeus". My Grandparents and their Family took a ship to the United States and worked honest hard lives and I felt this was disrespectful to them. My deceased cousin at one time knew half the guys in this restaurant and was part of the Italian-Americans Business Association. Not to mention all the Italian-Americans who serve or served this country in the military were being referred to as " Dago's" and " Grease balls". Me being part Italian and Irish found it disrespectful. I approached Joe Birigante and politely asked him to refer to us as Italian-Americans. I also advised him their were elders in the restaurant who deserved some respect. Joe and Tony, felt since they were Italian that entitled them to use such terms. I remember back in the mid-1980s, in a restaurant on North Ave., in Melrose Park, a waitress started calling the owners friends " Dagos". A man of honor , named Jackie, immediately advised her to refrain from calling them Dago's. Since then, those guys are gone and it seems so is all respect and honor. Tony Cassano continued to use the word " Grease ball", so I got up and left. As I was leaving he made another smart ass wise guy statement, something like, " Don't let the door hit you in the ass!' , Well let me say this, wherever these guys perform any person of respect or honor should walk out. I will always let the door hit me in the ass with these two disrespectful rude performers out of respect for my Family and Friends and for all Italian-Americans who deserve the basic honor and respect that once was. A guess basic respect was once upon a time.

I came here for a magic show with a group of friends on a Friday. Overall, good facility! There's a…read moresmall parking lot for patrons nearby, which was nice. Bartenders were friendly. Bathrooms were clean. It was cold, but that's typical of buildings in the summer. I'd come back!

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!

This annual event has become a tradition with me. It's an autograph and entertainment memorabilia…read moreshow that features a mix of celebrities from the worlds of TV, movies, and music. Each year, there is always been at least two or three people there who I've always wanted to meet in person. The stars charge for their autographs which they write on photos they have with them. People can also bring their own camera and take a photo with their favorite stars (there is a charge for that, too). However, one is able to shake hands with the stars and just say 'hi' without paying for an autograph or buying any merchandise, such as books or CDs, that the stars may also be selling. It's a pleasant way to spend a day.

We were very disappointed with the New Year's Eve show we saw at 6:30pm ran by smoothchicago.com…read more First of all why wasn't the Ice Bar up and running? It was NY Eve! We had to go all the way down to the hotel bar which is not handy at all. The seating was so tight in the Montrose Room you could barely get around, especially with no coat check. The sound system was not good. The Drummer had 7 mics on him and he was way too loud. You could barely hear the younger keyboard guy (forgot his name), even Althea Rene had to ask for him to be turned up. It has been many years since we were last at the Montrose Room and saw Norman Brown perform. Things were so much better back then and worth the tix price. Please ditch those tv tray type tables that tip easily with something better to put your drink on. You can do better! As to not just complain, we did enjoy the musicians and overall we enjoyed their music. Plus it was fun to dress up and go out to hear live music for New Year's Eve. However, to pay good money for the tix and pay a lot for parking, just to be left disappointed saddened us. Not enough effort was put into the whole experience.

A bonafide live music venue outside the city limits? Believe it!…read more I have the feeling the luxe Montrose Room won't be a well-kept suburban secret for much longer. Housed in the seriously chic InterContinental hotel, this intimate music venue boasts ringside cabaret seating and killer acoustics. It's obvious they poured a large investment in making sure the sound is top-notch! Right outside the doors leading into the Montrose Room is the Ice Bar. The specialty cocktails are made with some of my favorite things: St-Germain, champagne floats, passion fruit juice, and lychee vodka among other sexy ingredients. For the man in your life? Some stellar whisky, bourbon and cognac selections. Tip: Don't forget to have your parking validated by a bartender on the way out and you'll only pay $5. And, be sure to take a stroll around the hotel - the art collection is FAB.

I don't have much experience with the Lithuanian culture, scratch that, I don't have ANY experience…read morewith the Lithuanian culture so I was intrigued by this place with signs in a very unfamiliar language. This was the ceremony site of a friends wedding and it was a great choice. Very cute little cathedral with very high ceilings that connected at an angle. The father speaks Lithuanian so he can perform a dual language ceremony for you (and apparently they have classes in the language here as well). Beyond the cathedral this place is huge! Classrooms, bathrooms, a bathroom with a tub and shower, a kitchen, a beautician on site, a banquet hall, and a dining room that leads out onto a lawn with extra seating. We had the rehearsal dinner here with traditional Lithuanian food, wine and beer catered in (so alcohol is allowed). Definitely a place to keep in mind if you are looking for traditional Lithuanian. i sveikata!

My partner had a great time laughing all the way through. It wasn't packed on a Sunday and you can park on the streets just make sure it's not by a sign that says tow.

I would give 13th Floor 3 stars…read more They moved locations a few years back to here in Schiller Park. This location does not have their own private parking lot, but they do have a $20 private valet parking service where you can park behind the house - I do not recommend that you use this. There is street parking past the valet parking guys, and the street parking is FREE, just be aware of specific spots on the street with "no parking" signs to avoid tickets/towing. On to the house itself, it's fun, but short - like maximum 15 minutes. The sets are great and the costumes/actors are all really well done as well. They do run pre-season specials like $12.99 ticket sales - I think for that price it's worth a visit to 13th Floor, but I wouldn't pay full price. There is also a nice gift shop at the end of the house itself with various merch and halloween items and escape rooms you can do which are fun. Overall, I'd recommend a visit if you can plan it out well and get it for a decent price during the Halloween season, but if you're doing only one haunted house this year, there are better ones for your buck in the Chicagoland area.
