Naomi: What were your original plans for the weekend? Did any fall through?
Nidhi: Currently I live in Chicago, but this weekend I flew back to my hometown of McLean to attend my dad’s launch party for his new cookbook, Rasika. I flew back Friday night and landed at 12:30AM EST, so I just crashed when I got home.
I have a lot of friends from college that currently live in the DC area, so I went out with them Saturday night. We went to Hawthorne on U Street, which is always a favorite. I love their rooftop!
Sunday was eventful too. You came to visit me at home!! It’s always great to catch up with you and talk about the random
Naomi: How much money did you spend this weekend?
Nidhi: Overall, I spent around $400. This covered my flight, food, and drinks at the bars.

Naomi: Were you happy with how your weekend turned out?
Nidhi: I’m extremely happy with how my weekend turned out. I loved being in town to support my dad at the events and it was great to catch up with friends.
Naomi: Any fun plans for next weekend?
Nidhi: I’ll be back in Chicago, so probably trying out a new restaurant or bar in Chi-town.

Naomi: Your recommendation for the best spot on the weekends?
If it’s Chi Town, River North and Old Town have some great bars. Joy District is always a favorite. Regarding food, anything in the West Loop is amazing. Girl and the Goat is a must try!
