Hardly a day seems to go by without a story about some ultra-stylish hotel, restaurant, or boutique in Chicago – and here’s another one from last week’s NYT sunday T magazine – about Ugo Alfano Casati’s two-story gallery in “Chicago’s trendy meatpacking district” – full of midcentury and contemporary pieces w/simple, elegant design. see casatigallery.com. Doubt much of it is in my price range judging from the $58,000 bookcase and $12,500 floor lamp.
The guy eats at a Mexican restaurant called Salpicon (salpicon.com) – maybe it’s not as expensive as the stuff he collects.
