+# 2025-05-17 Saturday
+
+Just after lunch on Saturday, mom and I set out on our adventure.
+We took the city bus to the intercity bus to the train---lots of public transit.

+
+We arrived in Chicago with a few hours to spare around dinner-time, so we took a cab to one of my favorite restaurants downtown: Sayat Nova Armenian Restaurant.
+This restaurant has been around since before mom lived in Chicago---despite that, she had never been.
+We had kofta, a really special treat.
+It's amazing to taste the layers of meat with different textures.
+Lamb, of course.

+
+Finally, it was time to catch the train.
+The train from Chicago to NYC leaves quite late---21:30---this awkward choice was made to allow travelers coming from the west coast to have a chance to transfer.
+The late departure time was wonderful for us as sleepers.
+Unfortunately we did not get to see Chicago Union Station, the entire station was blocked off for some fancy gala.

+Mom's leg was in pretty bad shape, so we enjoyed a day at Butler Hall.
+Bad weather outside made the experience of staying in even more attractive.

+
+For dinner, we decided to check out Sylvia's in Harlem under recommendation from Roberta, a worker at Butler Hall.
+We enjoyed corn bread, macaroni & cheese, collard greens, fried chicken, pork ribs, and sweet potato pie.
+Delicious food.
