Rich History, but is it worth the Stay?
Congress Hotel stood out when I was looking for a hotel to stay in Chicago, mainly due to it’s strategic location, rich history, and yes, very appealing photos! Let me give you a summary of my 7-day experience :)
PROs:
- strategic location, very much central to walk over the tourist spots, train / bus stations, and just across the Buckingham fountain and Grant Park!
- spacious room and clean
CONs:
- my room 872 is just beside the fire exit and there are days when people keep on using the exit and definitely not being gentle with the door. At first it was bearable, but the last 3 days of my stay was horrible!
- i booked a room that supposed to have coffee maker (being a coffee lover) but they didn’t provide. I reported it to the reception twice, they addressed my other concerns but NOT this!
- the place is abit run down, the air-condition / heater wasn’t working properly. It was really hot at one point that the hotel maintenance guy had to let the window open using the menu so the cool air will come inside my room (i stayed here last winter btw) 😅
Whilst the hotel's historical significance may be appealing, it's important to note the current situation. So, if you're looking for a truly memorable and comfortable stay, it may be worth considering other options.
Goodluck! xoxo 💋

Divine Design:St Patrick’s & St Mary’s Shrine
One of my favorite thing to do; visit new churches wherever I go, and honestly the churches in NYC left me in awe.
In the bustling heart of New York City, two magnificent churches stand as symbols of faith, history, and architectural grandeur. St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Mary the Virgin Church represent two distinct religious traditions, yet both hold a special place in the hearts of New Yorkers and visitors alike.
First, let's explore St. Patrick's Cathedral, a Roman Catholic masterpiece located on Fifth Avenue. As you approach this Gothic Revival-style cathedral, you'll be awestruck by its towering spires, intricate stonework, and magnificent rose window. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by a soaring nave, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible and the lives of saints. The cathedral's awe-inspiring architecture and sacred atmosphere create a sense of reverence and tranquility, inviting visitors to reflect and find solace.
On the other side of the spectrum, we have St. Mary the Virgin Church, an Anglican parish located in the vibrant neighborhood of Times Square. This church stands as a testament to the beauty of Anglo-Catholic worship. Its stunning Neo-Gothic architecture, with its intricate carvings and soaring spires, evokes a sense of awe and reverence. Inside, you'll find a richly decorated interior, complete with stunning stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and a magnificent altar adorned with candles and religious icons.
Whether you're seeking a moment of reflection, a glimpse into architectural splendor, or simply a respite from the bustling city streets, a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Mary the Virgin Church is a must. These iconic landmarks invite you to discover the beauty of faith, history, and the enduring power of spiritual connection in the heart of the Big Apple.

Serendipity is a Bliss: a Cafe not to Miss!
My family and I watched Serendipity movie every year until it became our ultimate Christmas movie. Since then, I have put Serendipity 3 cafe in my bucket list. Fast forward to 2023, I finally made it to NYC and got the chance to visit; on my Birthday with my bestfriend! ❣️
The appearance of Serendipity 3 cafe might have changed in terms of decorations and layout as we have seen from the movie compared to present. Though, it still retains its charming and whimsical atmosphere, with its iconic pink exterior and cozy interior filled with eclectic decorations. The cafe continues to offer its famous frozen hot chocolate and delectable desserts, creating a delightful experience.
Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, Serendipity 3 is conveniently situated near some of the New York City's iconic landmarks, such as Central Park and Metropolitan Museum of Art which we have explored afterwards!

Wrong turn that turned out Right!
Planned a day trip in OKC and we had a wonderful detour! Found Turner Falls Park and it is a hidden gem located in the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma. We had a great time exploring the park and enjoying the great outdoors. The experience of discovering this beautiful park unexpectedly was very exciting and easily became the highlight of our trip.

Windy City: Culture, Architecture and History
Here’s some of my favorites from my week-long quest in discovering the beautiful city of Chicago!
1. Millennium Park and The Bean: Start your adventure at Millennium Park, a sprawling oasis in the heart of downtown Chicago. Marvel at the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, affectionately known as "The Bean," which reflects the city's magnificent skyline in its polished surface. Take a leisurely stroll through the park, enjoying the beautiful landscapes and art installations.
2. Grant Park: Adjacent to Millennium Park, and the hotel I stayed in (Congress Hotel) you'll find Grant Park, often referred to as Chicago's "front yard." This expansive green space is home to Buckingham Fountain, a magnificent landmark that mesmerizes visitors with its grandeur and water displays.
3. Agora Statues: Still at the Grant Park, the awe-inspiring Agora statues. This unique installation features 106 iron sculptures, created by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. As you wander amongst the towering figures, contemplate their significance and the artist's intention in creating this thought-provoking display.
4. Willis Tower: Reach new heights at the Willis Tower, one of Chicago's most famous landmarks. Ascend to the Skydeck on the 103rd floor and experience breathtaking panoramic views of the city and beyond.
5. Navy Pier at Night: As the sun sets, head to Navy Pier for a truly enchanting experience. This iconic entertainment destination comes alive with dazzling lights, thrilling rides, and delicious dining options. Take a romantic stroll along the pier, enjoying the stunning views of Lake Michigan and the glittering cityscape.
6. Adler Planetarium: Discover the wonders of the universe at the Adler Planetarium, America's first planetarium. Explore interactive exhibits, gaze at the stars in the Grainger Sky Theater, and learn about space exploration and astronomy. At the same time, this is where you will see the most stunning views of the Chicago skyline. Be sure not to miss it!
7. Starbucks Reserve: Last but not the least, for coffee enthusiasts like me, a visit to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery is a must. Immerse yourself in the world of artisanal coffee as you explore the multi-level space, witnessing the roasting process and indulging in unique coffee creations. Savor the flavors and aromas that make Starbucks Reserve a haven for coffee lovers.

The Cheesecake Factory: Worth Every Calorie!
My visit to my cousin in Waukegan was short and sweet (literally and figuratively)! Haven’t seen her for years so it felt so good to reconnect with her. She took me to The Cheesecake Factory and for someone who doesn’t have sweet tooth, this restaurant is surprisingly and satisfyingly good! For dessert lovers, you’d definitely enjoy the wide variety! They also have extensive menu, diverse options and generous portions! The place is also very spacious, looks grand and deserves to be shared via short video! Highly recommended! ⭐️
