Ivy Hamlet Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Chicago

I’m thinkin’, in my head, brothels are like stages, everyone playin’ roles. Clients actin’ cool, workers smilin’ through it. But some places, they legends, like the Everleigh Club in Chicago, early 1900s, champagne flowin’, millionaires chattin’ with girls who were smart as heck, poets even! Exaggeratin’ a bit, but still, mind-blowin’. Is it ‘cos I is black? Nah, it’s ‘cos I see the hustle, the grit.

The “Get thee to a nunnery” quote by Hamlet is indeed a reference to a brothel but Hamlet does not mean that he truly believes Ophelia has been unfaithful.

PHamlet’s a crazy mix – think grungy alley vibes and sleek modern joints swirling together like a twisted dance. Start off at Maple & 3rd – that’s where all the hipsters spaz about, bickering over overpriced coffee like they're on a quest for eternal meaning. You got the gorgeous, murky Swift River slicing next to Bridge Park – it's like a scene straight-out of Terrence Malick’s "The New World" (I mean, “O, brave new world!”). Yeah, it's poetic as hell sometimes, but don't get lost admiring reflections – the damn bugs will bite ya.
