36 Hours in Chicago. ALL cities have their ups and downs, but Chicago has been on the rise by playing to its strengths, adding parks, architectural crowd pleasers and public art.

36 Hours in Chicago

Much of this has happened on the watch of Mayor , who, after 21 years in office, announced this month that he would be stepping down. How will the city fare without him? Just fine, probably, thanks to the raft of improvements that has left Chicago fortified both by 19th- and 20th-century public spaces brimming with 21st-century attractions. Friday 4 p.m. Chicago is a city of tours, but one of the best is right above you: the “L,” the elevated subway that circles the Loop (transitchicago.com). 8 p.m. 2) MIDWAY FARE Credit the recession, but a number of good midprice but high-style restaurants have opened in Chicago in the last two years. 11 p.m. 3) COME ON IN There are so many clubs on Ontario Street, just north of the loop, that it’s sometimes known as Red Bull Row.

P.O.S.H. Chicago. In 1997, P.O.S.H. opened its doors in Chicago, with a desire to offer something unique to the consumer that had grown weary of “sameness”.

P.O.S.H. Chicago

Our small shop was met with a warm reception as the search for pieces that haven’t been mass-produced for coast–to–coast consumption was shared by many. “At some point in your life, you want something that feels authentic — something that speaks to you.” That thought is what drives P.O.S.H. to search high and low for the items that stock its shelves — an eclectic assortment of vintage Hotel and Estate Silver, Restaurant China and Dinnerware and an ever–changing mix of European Flea Market Finds.

Found in such disparate places as long–shuttered American china warehouses and restaurant supply depots to the antique markets and auction houses of Europe, the items sold at P.O.S.H. are often one–of–a–kind or limited in quantity. We hope we have captured some of the uniqueness and personality of P.O.S.H. on our website. Unique Thrift. The Art Institute of Chicago.
