By Angela Rocco DeCarlo, ©2009 Chicago – like any great city – has to be enjoyed in small bites. I recently revisited my former hometown, where you can sample at one time only a small slice of the great confection that is this beautiful lakeside city. However, there are attractions that are unique or stunningly significant that should be on any traveler’s short list. This is a sort of "Best of"...Some favorite things include: tour of the magnificent Lake Michigan waterfront museum campus of parks; Art Institute’s Impressionist paintings and Thorne Miniature Rooms; Cultural Center’s magnificent Tiffany Dome ceiling, largest in world; Sue, the largest and most complete T-Rex, Field Museum of Natural History; Museum of Science and Industry, 1893 Colombian Exposition building; Lincoln memorabilia/death bed, Chicago History Museum; Chicago’s 38 bascule (meaning see-saw) bridges, including Michigan Avenue Bridge Museum; Sears Tower (tallest building in Western Hemisphere) and Hancock Center observatories; and Chicago Water Tower on Michigan Avenue, a remnant of the Great Chicago Fire, 1871.Yes, I know Sears Tower has been renamed, as has Marshall Field’s, but Chicagoan are loath to let go, hence the names Sears and Marshall Fields reverberate. On my recent trip, my plan was to sample two ...

One of the best bands my ears have had the pleasure of listening to is Cowboy Mouth, and during this upcoming Jazz Fest, that's the tune this diva will be dancing to... Following content taken from their website:  www.cowboymouth.com The term 'Cowboy Mouth' has been used in the poetry of Shakespeare and Bob Dylan as well as a play by Patti Smith and Sam Shepard. Usually meaning one with a loud and raucous voice, it describes the band well. With over 2000 concerts under their belt and many years of reviews lauding their live show, there is still one quote which best captures their show..... "...on a bad night they'll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night, they'll save your soul." — Cake Magazine Cowboy Mouth is New Orleans rock n' roll. Annually presenting roughly 200 shows per year, releasing nearly a dozen records, and featured on TV shows and radio stations everywhere, Cowboy Mouth has been seen and heard by millions of fans worldwide. For more than 15 years, the members of Cowboy Mouth have preached and shouted at the top of their lungs the joys of being alive and the joys of being in and from New ...

Looking for a great place to spend New Year' Eve?  Head down to the beach in Santa Monica, California and ring in the new year at the luxurious Viceroy Hotel.  Traveling Diva and friends were lucky enough to be invited to this exclusive event and we were thrilled to be there.  Once a year the Viceroy goes all out and treats their guests to a NYE celebration worthy of royalty. The incredible food ranged from delicious to outrageous as tray after tray was brought out to a sea of eager foodies.  The sushi was fresh, the champagne 'bubble-licious!'  This Diva barely had a chance to take pictures as the waiters kept filling our glasses.  Of course, we simply smiled and said, 'Yes, please!' As the music moved on, we looked out on the dance floor to the sea of sexy singles and not-so-singles grooving to the enticing rhythms.  In a flash, we realized, this is where they meet! The sexy single girl and the elusive great guy she'd been looking for.  Don't bother looking on the internet.  Forget about those  excruciating blind dates.  The sexy people of LA know where to go mingle on such an important day.  No matter where you ...
