I stumbled upon Asrai Garden when I attended an event at the Ace Hotel. At first I thought it was a…read morenew floral shop in town, but after talking to the staff I learned this was Asrai's newest location. I used to visit the one in Wicker Park so I was thrilled to see they have a location also in the West Loop which is easier for me to get to. This new location is a huge improvement aesthetically compared to the one in Wicker Park. This location is definitely more spacious and seems to offer a wider variety of things from eclectic jewelry to incense. The floral part though may be the bread and butter of this place. I love how they have the flowers on display, making it accessible and easy to choose your own arrangement.

This was the first time I've ever even owned a plant, and it's definitely still a work in progress, but nonetheless great job Paul and thank you so much! I included the before and after.

The work that Metro Scapes did on our parkway was very good. They came out on 2 separate years and…read moreI was pleased with the results. However it was exceptionally difficult to get them to actually come out and do the work. I started a couple months in advance (April) requesting an appointment and had to follow-up several times in order for them to actually show up. Last year I finally gave up on them after many appointment requests & no-shows and ended up doing the work myself. They do good work when they show up, but I wouldn't count on them if you need work done by a certain date.

The prices online seemed very reasonable and the person I made the order with over the phone was very helpful and friendly. And most importantly - she had the order done in an hour and charged me under what she quoted. Very happy with that kind of integrity. When I went to pick up the corsage I was delighted with the look and feel of the shop. It was just so beautiful and serene inside - it didn't seem like it was in downtown Chicago. As expected, the service was wonderful in person. I can't wait to have an opportunity to use this florist again.

My review is based on the specific room I was given--1012. It was next to a bank of elevators and…read morethroughout the day and night it sounded as if the "El" train was passing through next door. After night one (with very little sleep) I reported my dissatisfaction with the room and received a disappointing response from the front desk. Since I only had one more night on my reservation they could not move me to another room. So I endured a second night with very little sleep. In addition to this unfortunate situation the hotel did not provide bottled water. You were given an empty bottle and directed to a "hydration station" to fill up. This might not have been a big deal, but the water smelled and tasted like it was sourced from someone's pool. So all in all my stay at the Canopy was horrible and needless to say I won't be returning. My guess is that every room ending in 12 will have the same problem. I'm surprise that other guests haven't mentioned this situation in their reviews...

Every park isn't that great while also not being that bad, just average. Heritage Green Park is…read moresuch one. It doesn't have much going on, just green space. For some people, that's all they need though so it's not a bad thing to have. There's lots of room for dogs to run around, and humans to chill and relax. Bare bones park is a description of it, almost. It actually does have some things in it. There's a few benches and paths. Green space is the main thing about it. Lots of it and quite a few trees. As far as playgrounds, there aren't any. The most interesting thing about it is a statue. It's called "Grainne." This was a gift by Galway, a city in Ireland. Chicago has lots of Irish heritage. This is a statue that certainly makes sense. Good park to hang out for a bit. It's nothing really that interesting but it's good to get out. There's a few benches for sitting and a few paths for walking.

I've driven by this park countless times; I used to pass it nearly daily when I had my old job. I'm…read morehonestly not sure I ever noticed it, though, before I stopped at Old St. Pat's this week. It's known as a "passive park", because it has no programming, playground, or any facilities besides some benches. The most notable feature of the park is a large sculpture at the southwest entrance called Grainne, which commemorates the Sister Cities relationship between Chicago and Galway, Ireland. The name is somewhat odd, and was developed by the park's advisory group. It's said to reflect the peoples of various heritage that have called the area home, as it was a gathering place for lots of new immigrants in Chicago. "Green" is in homage to the old-timey town greens that were the original parks. I wandered through simply because I was surprised it was here, but it wasn't much of a park. I liked the sculpture quite a lot. If one lived nearby this would be an ok place to stop if you wanted a minimal amount of green space, but otherwise there are better parks in the city.
