for good eating
Frontera Grill for good mexican on Clarke.
Boni Vinos in the loop for decent italian.
Chicago Chop House for some pricey steaks.
Riva on Navy Pier for some awesome sea food & nice view.
If you want to try the best hot dog ever head to Jean & Judes in River Grove. |

Original Pancake House (Rush & Walnut) - Best breakfast in the city, but expect a line if you going mid-morning on a weekend.
Five Faces (Division, between Clark and Dearborn) - Best Gyros in the city. Tiny, gross-looking hole-in-the-wall, but it doesn't get any better.
N9NE Steakhouse - Cool spot in the south loop that, for some bizarre reason, doesn't get much traffic, aside from after-work crowd. Good food (New American stuff...not really a steakhouse) and pretty cool interior.
Navy Pier - Avoid. Chicago's Times Square. |

Milk and Honey cafe on Division in Wicker Park is the most AMAZING breakfast food, and very affordable.
Look at this amazing breakfast. LOOK AT IT.
