Not music related but food related:You're visiting 2 cities with wonderful hotdog traditions. In NYC visit Nathans and Papaya King (I think I got that right) In Chicago, there's practically a hotdog stand on every corner. Be sure to get one "Chicago" style. My girlfriend has been converted to a Chicago style hotdog lover after thinking mustard & sauerkraut were the only two things to use.
pax yall & stay out of the heat!
