I’m Verne Thomas, your Chicago concierge. And I’m here to make sure you do!

My job is to know what's happening in all the Chicago restaurants, museums, theaters and hot spots. The Avenue’s central location on Michigan Avenue in Chicago IL, makes it easy to take advantage of special events of offerings at many of your favorite stores including American Girl Place, Apple, Water Tower Place and Crate and Barrel. And every week or so, I blog about what's going on in order to ensure that visitors get the most out of visits to Chicago.

Prior to your arrival email me and I will work out an itinerary for you including dining, theater or sporting event reservations. When you arrive there’s nothing to do but just have fun!

Or, if you have any questions about Chicago or The Avenue Hotel in Chicago IL, your Chicago concierge is here to help, email me your question. We may even post your question to the blog to help others.
