The Obamas have been taking a much-deserved break from politics since moving out of the White House. But next week, it's back to reality.
President Barack Obama will be in Chicago on Monday to discuss community organization and civic engagement.
As we all know, the Obamas have impeccable taste in food, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the former president surveying the Chicago dining scene when he returns stateside. Will he visit the renowned Alinea? Or return to an old Obama favorite, Spiaggia?
Last September, my husband and I had a chance run-in with Barack and Michelle, who were in New York City for their last visit as president and first lady.
Here's what it was like.
We were headed to Cosme in New York's Flatiron District to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.
