35 W Ontario StGreat for breakfast or brunch. Diner atmosphere and prices (not very expensive). Open 24 hours a day. One of my favorites.
One of my two favorite dinner spots. Sort of a speakeasy atmosphere. But you'll have to get reservations about a month in advance or more for a prime (Friday at 7 pm) dinner spot.

Bavette's Bar & Boeuf
218 W Kinzie StOne of my two favorite dinner spots. Sort of a speakeasy atmosphere. But you'll have to get reservations about a month in advance or more for a prime (Friday at 7 pm) dinner spot.
One of my two favorite dinner spots. The chef is Fabio Viviani, of Top Chef fame, and he does an amazing job. Like Bavette's, you'll have to book at least a month out for a prime weekend dinner spot.

Best brunch spot in town as far as the food is concerned--you get a lot for not much money. Although they don't like to customize orders. Get there early if you don't want to wait.

Great spot for just about anytime or occasion. Also great brunch spot although you pay for the atmosphere--it's very trendy. You won't get as much food as you will at Yolk or Eggsperience.

Drinks & Nightlife
A huge underground bar with a speakeasy theme and a great atmosphere that is actually in the same building as my unit. The food is good but not great.
