ChiSone has chosen another great restaurant, the amazing Latin restaurant Nacional 27
Location:
325 West Huron Street
Chicago, IL 60610
We thought that this selection of restaurant would be great as it offers something unique for Chicagoans, and a flavor of home to all the Latinos living in Chicago.
The ambiance of the restaurant is electrifying. The moment you walk in, you will be greeted by the hostess, and towards your right you will find the bar. On a week day, you might find it to be somewhat lonely, but be prepared to make reservations during the weekends as it tends to be a hot spot. People will sit at the bar, order drinks and food, and you would also find people dancing around the bar, letting go by the rhythm of the “salsa and merengue” sounds playing in the back. Nacional 27 offers a wide variety of food on its menu, (don’t worry it has more to offer than just tacos). You could either order ceviche, paellas, salads, seafood, or a good piece of steak.
We ordered:
Smoke Chicken Empanadas
Steak Arepas
Guacho Marinated bbq Skirt Steak
Seafood Paella
A delicious meal, with its unique Latin flavor at a great atmosphere.
Accessibility: 4
Price: 4
Food quality & taste: 5

Ratings are between 1 and 5. 1 = poor and 5 = excellent *

Gift Trend
At ChiSone we love Christmas! We love the lights all over Michigan Avenue, the Christmas music playing in the radio, the snow, but what about shopping for Christmas gifts? I know, we hear you… it’s not the greatest of all things. But ChiSone has you covered.
Some of the latest trends for Christmas gift are:
Wireless Charging Mat
The Powermat facilitates the drag of plugging every different electronic device to a different wire. We all have cell phones, even multiple ones, we all have iPods, and so on. So instead of plugging each one in a different location, you can set up your Powermat, and charge your device by placing it on top of the Powermat as seen below. The different devices will then charge without any plugs or wire. The Powermat is able to charge three different devices at once.
The new IPod Nano
IPods have been around for some time… but the new Ipod nano comes in the cutest colors: pink, yellow, apple green, orange and much more. Besides this, the new Ipod finally has a video camera, and FM radio with Live Pause. WOWWWW I know…!
Christmas CD’s: Josh Groban’s Noel CD
Besides getting your family and friends electronics why don’t we share some holiday spirit? Any Christmas CD will inspire the entire family with some holiday music.
Hot Chocolate on a Stick
This is a perfect gift for your mother, or even grandmother. The way it works is simply warm up the milk, and then make you stir the chocolate which as seen on the picture is on a stick. Without much more you will have a warm chocolate drink for the cold days ahead.
Rosetta Stone
I know what you’re thinking! Rosetta Stone for Christmas? But what better than gifts that will help you learn something new, a language! Rosetta Stone is offered in 31different languages! Trust us, anyone would appreciate such a gift, and enjoy the holiday sale.
We hope our ideas can make your Holiday shopping a little easier. Remember, this are only our favorite picks, below we offer other options.
Good luck… (wink)
• Electronic Reading Digital book
• Uggs Boots, (always useful for winter time)
• Wine Tote (so many models to choose makes it a great gift all year round)
• Voice Interactive Coffee Machine
Any better ideas? Add them below…

What’s up with ridiculous Christmas gifts?
We have all received them, random, unnecessary, unflattering Christmas gifts. Yet we smile say thank you then put them in the back of our closets to never be seen again.
Christams is one of the most wonderful times of the year, so why do people give the most un-wonderful presents at times? Do they just buy presents in bulk before considering who it might be for? Personally, I have a very small Christmas shopping list. My mother, father, and my sister. Call me old fashioned but I still feel like Christmas is about family and Christ.
The most unnecessary presents I have ever gotten were: a pair of socks, a soap gift basket, a CD I already had, a fugly Christmas sweater and of course. . . A snow globe.
Please people, keep it simple when shopping for presents. Put a little bit of thought into your ideas and don’t buy something for the sake of buying it. Look at a few of ChiSoNe gift suggestions if you are having trouble finding the perfect gift for him or her.
Have a great Holiday!
