Kung Fu Tea
Kung Fu tea is located on the second level in new chinatown in the plaza at 2126 B South Archer Avenue. The only way I've found to get to the second level is by stairs, and there are several sets of stairs around the plaza to get up to the second level. When a friend [...]
Greggs
One of the places my cousin wanted to go to while we were in London was Greggs. So after getting a bit turned around after leaving Westminster Abbey we searched for the nearest Greggs and went for a bit of a hike. The way my cousin explained Greggs was that it was cheap food, essentially a [...]
Big Ben and Parliament Square
Near Westminster Abbey my cousin and I wandered through Parliament Square in order to get a non packed view of the Elizabeth Tower and a closer look at the statues in Parliament Square. Big Ben is actually not the name of the tower or even the official name of any part of the tower. Big [...]
Horror Movie Poster Exhibition
Most old theaters, I'm sure, have a good size collection of old movie posters hidden away. The Logan Square Theater, while going through a renovation found a ton of vintage old Horror Movie Posters, so they did something really cool. They made a free exhibit at I Am Logan Gallery which happens to be right next [...]

At 5:30 the parade begins. This year [...]

We originally thought we'd be going in during our Total London Experience Tour but instead just looked at it as the bus drove past. Then after we picked up our London Passes we headed over and it was closed. So on our [...]
Peter Pan at Kensington Gardens
Our last full day in London started out early and was packed. I had made a list of things I wanted to see and first up was to the Peter Pan statue at Kensington Gardens. The story of Peter Pan has always been one of my favorites every since I was little. We took the [...]
Ken-Kee Restaurant
Ken-Kee Restaurant is located in Chinatown at 2129-A S. China Place. It's located right next to the zodiac square in new Chinatown. I went with a friend who ordered noodles and a Tangerine Lemon Iced Tea that tasted like a Starburst candy. They brought us tea when we sat down and left us alone unless [...]
