Family Photos at the Ambassador East

June 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Saturday night was Cory & Chris’s wedding reception. They didn’t want a big ceremony, so they got married on their own a while ago, but still held the big party for all of their family and friends. That’s the part everyone likes anyway, right? A lot of wedding guests were staying at the Ambassador East hotel so before heading to Maxim’s for the reception, we took photos at the hotel. As you can see the kids could not have been more adorable. Aunty Laura, Cory’s mom, bought all of the boys tuxedos. Even Kenji, who is only about 7 months old! I couldn’t get enough. So funny to try to take photos of all of them.

Riverview Tavern, Roscoe Village, Chicago

Wednesday Night: Wine at Avec. Thursday Night: Chicagoist Staff Happy Hour. Friday Night: Gapers Block Party. Saturday Night: Barbecue/Housewarming at Darren & Cory’s new place. Sunday Night: Dinner & Drinks at Riverview. Luckily, I didn’t get drunk every night, I took it easy. Otherwise, I’d be in rough shape right now. Instead it was a great weekend. And hot, did I mention HOT?

Riverview is pretty much right across the street from Danny & Lori’s so we’ve been known to frequent it regularly. It’s named after the old amusement park that was in operation from the late 1800s to the late 1960s and was located not to far from where the bar is now. Inside are lots of photographs and signs from the old park. It’s cool. Good drink specials ($3 Goose Island Summertime last night) and good food.
