Chicago! I finally made it to our apartment (after a mishap with a wrong bus) and explored the neighborhood a bit before Jessica got in. Very swanky! The airbnb looks like it came straight from IKEA (in a good way).
When J. got in we headed out on foot for a bit, before calling a lyft to take us to a sushi place I had read up on, called Juno. It was some of the best sushi I have ever had! We tried lots of things, including several kinds of tuna (I don't think I had ever had o-toro before and it was amazing), some oysters, nigiri (scallop was a standout), a roll with tuna and king crab, shrimp cocktail with a wasabi emulsion, charred corn, a selection of sashimi...everything was so good that we kept ordering more. I wish I was a food writer so I could describe it better.

The nice thing about sushi for dinner is that it leaves you with room for dessert, and it so happens that there is a Jeni's ice cream right near the apartment! I had salty caramel (duh) and gooey butter cake in a waffle cone, and Jessica had the gooey butter cake and coffee. The flavors were strong and delicious. I am worried about how close it is.
