So I had a meeting in downtown Chicago this morning, and then another one this evening. I had a few hours to kill, so I wandered into a Westin to get some quiet.
I went into the lower level, and actually lay down on the floor in a side hallway like some homeless guy. Except I was wearing a suit and carrying a computer.
Then, I found a couch and actually fell asleep.
People passed by and nobody commented or asked me if I belonged here. Amazing.
Now, I’m sitting in the lobby using wifi and drinking seltzer from the bar.
So, nap, seltzer, and wifi. All for $3
August 31, 2011 9:37 pm at 9:37 pm #804823CheinMemberWhat is the $3 fee for?
August 31, 2011 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm #804824popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe seltzer
August 31, 2011 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #804825CheinMember$3 for seltzer? Ganovim.
August 31, 2011 9:42 pm at 9:42 pm #804826popa_bar_abbaParticipant$3 for seltzer? Ganovim.
In Manhattan it is often 6 or 7.
August 31, 2011 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm #804827CheinMemberIn Manhattan they’re bigger ganovim.

Ganovim? He’s in their hotel, using their wi-fi, sleeping and drooling over their couch, who are you calling ganovim?
September 1, 2011 2:55 am at 2:55 am #804832CheinMemberHe’s a ganav too. 😉 (Sorry popa.)

September 1, 2011 1:48 pm at 1:48 pm #804834be goodParticipantLooking like you belong is one thing- add a couple of ounces of confidence and they start treating you like a king…
(don’t confuse confidence for arrogance tho)
September 1, 2011 1:58 pm at 1:58 pm #804835emanParticipantThis past Monday, the internet was down in my house. I spent the day in Starbucks, drinking coffee (first cup 1.63 small 2.12 medium reefills 50 cents). For under 5 bucks, I had internet all day plus coffee.
Without a suit.
September 1, 2011 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm #804836MonseyFanMemberWell Eman, you’re lucky that the Starbucks gave you an outlet to plug in your laptop. Many no longer do.
September 1, 2011 3:23 pm at 3:23 pm #804837popa_bar_abbaParticipanteman: You get free refills if you have a registered Starbucks card. Then you buy a small and it is free all day.
However, the Westin River North is far nicer than most Starbucks.
September 1, 2011 6:45 pm at 6:45 pm #804838am yisrael chaiParticipantOk, pba, so what have you done in a suit today?
September 1, 2011 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm #804839TheGoqParticipantNext time skip the nap and go to the Art Institute.

apusheta….i love u!!!
September 1, 2011 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #804841ItcheSrulikMemberIt’s true. You can get away with a ridiculous amount.
September 1, 2011 9:04 pm at 9:04 pm #804842CheinMemberWhat else can you get away with?
September 1, 2011 9:13 pm at 9:13 pm #804843bptParticipantI am just finding out how many really cool places there are to hang out, when dragged to a mall, or shipping in the city.
My latest favorite? Hollister on 5th ave. 50ft screen showing Long Beach, CA. And those arm chairs? A real vacation!
Shop till you drop, Mrs. BP! Wake me when you’re ready to go.
September 1, 2011 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm #804844popa_bar_abbaParticipantShop till you drop, Mrs. BP!
I thought she’s BPM
But this reminds me of the time we took our campers on a scavenger hunt, and then while they were hunting, we found a microbrewery in the area and went in for some drinks.
Great activity.
September 2, 2011 3:56 am at 3:56 am #804845bein_hasdorimParticipantIt’s even more amazing what you can do in a suite. just ask….
September 2, 2011 3:32 pm at 3:32 pm #804846bptParticipant“It’s even more amazing what you can do in a suite”
Too funny!
September 2, 2011 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #804847bptParticipant” I thought she’s BPM “
M? As in Ma? Mommy? Mother?
Why preclude BPI (as in Ima?) or BPO (as in Oma).
Just kidding. She Ma to our kids. Her screen name is not BP related.
And, no, she is not a CR addict. She spends he on-line time on a ladies site. (evident from the 1500+ recipes I see floating around the kitchen)
