If their gone find a place located along the Metra line, cause that's where the best dining and brews can be found. Downtown Arlington closes down a street come Million weekend, exactly one block from train depot. Downtown Arlington, Palatine, Edison Park and many other towns along the line have excellent pubs. Don't waste money on cabs use it for beers and bets. The Metra line also services to Chicago, ride takes an hour. Oh, and did I mention beer is consumable aboard the Metra line, so even if you have a somewhat long trip just kick back with a Daily Racing Form and a beer......catch ya later dude

Yeah, but they have to go through alot to get to the correct train line, which could be confusing for someone that have never road the Metra and having to hop lines.
