"Cherry Circle Room is an upscale restaurant located on the second floor of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, all the way in the back. And it’s designed to feel like a parlor from the turn of the century, when fluorescent lighting was still mostly just a bad dream. Dark wood paneling, secluded tables, and the general feeling of being out-of-the-way help make the whole experience feel secretive—and the overall effect is enough to make you consider living like the Phantom Of The Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, allowing you to appreciate the darkness forever. Or at least until April." - adrian kane
