Museums

The "main" museums are:

• British Museum: basically this is all the treasures (art and artefacts) that Britain has stolen from around the world
• National Gallery: paintings
• National Portrait Gallery (around the corner): paintings of people, photographs of people (closed for renovations for the rest of the year)
• Victoria & Albert Gallery: sculpture, architecture, medieval stuff, tapestries, rugs
• Natural History Museum: the building alone is worth the visit, the exhibits are nice too
• Tate Modern: London's equivalent of the MOMA

# USAGE:
# Set NOTE_FOLDER to where you want to store the notes

# Add a line to your .zshrc with the appropriate path:
# source path/to/open-note.sh

# note -> lists all notes
# note -n foo -> creates a new note named 2020-07-10-foo.md, where 2020-07-10 is today's date
#     (if there's a note today already with the same name, it will just open it)
# note foo -> if there's a single note with the substring "foo", it will open it

Superlatives:

• Chicago Symphony Orchestra is hands-down the best US orchestra, and easily one of the best in the world

• Chicago Lyric Opera is second-only to the Met Opera, and is a world-class opera company and theatre

• Hot dogs: one thing that Chicago does far better than anywhere else. My favourite place (Murphys Red Hots) is gone, but there are lots of other places. Fatso's Last Stand is nice. Chicago hot dogs have a special history. I prefer char dogs, but that's not the default. I don't love Portillos (the default recommendation)

• Birria: Birrieria Zaragoza is amazing, I've not tried other birrierias and would like to

• Paletas: Lots of good paletas, most of them have Michoacán in the name. One called El sabor de México. There's one near Birrieria Zaragoza, and a few in Pilsen.

• Cigar bar: Iwan Ries is the best cigar bar I've ever been to. Private club, but you can pay $10 to get in. Three rooms, bring-your-own-booze, and one room has a big window that

• Good solutions to problems come from the ashes of poorer solutions
  • if you don't know previous solutions to the problem, look further

• be happy to throw your solution away when a better solution becomes clear

Food

• Hoang Lan (Vietnamese) on Martin Luther King Way
  • the bun rieu here is amazing (best I've had). Known for their Bun bo hue. All the grilled meats, etc., are good. Pho is okay.
• Pho Bac (Vietnamese) on Jackson St.
  • my favourite pho, although a bit sweet for some people. Be sure to squeeze limes into the broth.
• Eltana (Montreal-style bagels) in Capital Hill
• Slim's Last Chance Chilli Shack (Chilli, beer, more chilli, corn bread) in South Seattle
  • worth travelling to. It's a sort of rundown chilli shack, people have lots of tattoos, sometimes they have live music
• Drunky's Two Shoe BBQ
