Chicago Restaurants!!
 

Anyone care to recommend some good restaurants in downtown Chicago? :)

Not to hijack your thread, but things to do and see in the City too. :)

When are you coming here Kevin?

Like asking are there any good pubs in Dublin. Arl opens 5/1

If you like upscale Mexican food, Frontera Grill.

Great italian, north side - Piazza Bella Trattoria, 2116 W Roscoe 773-477-7330

(partially owned by my brother, I'm partial ;)

steak - Chicago Chophouse
prime rib - Lawry's

I'll agree Frontera's good for Mexican

McDonalds
Burger King
Taco Bell
Wendy's
Arby's
Manny's Deli

Ah, but there are loads of bad pubs in Dublin as well..

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Chuck, I'll defo go to a Wendys while Im in the States, we dont have it back home..

when are you coming?

1. Pacific Mission-South Wabash Street (they also provide cheap lodging and after-dinner speakers)

2. Lawson YMCA-West Chicago Avenue (cheap lodging and communal showers)

3. Nation of Islam Cafeteria-East 72nd Street ( a short stroll from the Loop through a quaint urban neighborhood. Suit and bow-tie required.)

You need to post more.

Ooooh, this one sounds very interesting!!!

Outside of Arlington?

Nevermind, I'm not helpful.

Unless you're just looking for bars to hang out at....then I'm useful.

The Bean is pretty good!!! and the John Hancock Observatory is cool!

C'mon, you gotta admit that all the museums in Chicago are awesome - didn't you spend every year of grade school going to the Museum of Science and Industry and walking through the beating heart?

There's some Italian steakhouse that's supposed to be either really good or really sh!tty - forgot the name and went to Gino's East that night :D :$: :D


There's a kick asz Asian-fusion place in the Hard Rock hotel off Michigan by the Mag mile -

In all seriouness, Brazazz (Brazilian Steakhouse) is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to....brilliant food.

True, indeed. But be sure to save time to experience a savory meal at the first suggested establishment, as well. Rumors abound in all the bankrupt newspapers here in town that the hot new chef at the Pacific is back and is one of the reasons for the long lines out the door. The spring menus feature seasonal fare, as well as the old favorites. The roasted roadkill Venison, the lukewarm chicken broth, the kettle drum-cooked city pidgeon (tri-colored only) are staples. Unfortunately, you've just missed a friday night Lenten special, the all-you-can-eat Alewife fish and chips dinner. Liquor is BYOB, of course. The decor is, well, minimalist. Dress is casual/slept in/none at all. There is outdoor dining, seating is curbside. The facilities are also outside and curbside. No reservations needed. The meals are the least expensive in town(free actually) and a great value for a grand lad traveling from Wisconsin.
