Couldn’t agree with you more about tv’s in bars. I design restaurants and bars and I always grimace when a client mentions putting one up. With the dining scene and bar scene in Chicago, you just don’t need them.

In reply to Valentine.

For NY’ers, identifying yourself by ethnic heritage is a big deal. I grew up in an Irish neighborhood and went to school with mostly Irish and a few Italians. Maybe there’s an element of “We didn’t want to leave Ireland, but we had to.” I don’t know. My maternal grandmother (my Valentine!) was disowned by her family for marrying a German. I am very into Ancestry.com and before my maternal grandparents married, all the marriage lines were very “German m. German” and “Irish m. Irish.” Fascinating. Wish someone had taken notes because I have so many questions about how I came to be.

And while on the topic of people not really from New York but claim to be … WHY do people say they are Irish or Italian when they can’t even speak the native language, have never visited, and where definitely not born there. I have english grandparents and I don’t say I am English – I have lived a solid 40% of my life in American and I don’t say i am American. I was born & raised in Australia – I am Australian. Please people if you are not born in a country and haven’t lived enough of your life to speak the local language you are NOT italian or Irish – you my friends are of Italian or irish heritage – don’t claim Italy or Ireland as your country or any other country for that matter unless you were born there.
