Kalyn had a great idea with this post. But the comments filled up and not a SINGLE one of my uncommon Chicago faves made it to the list, prompting a last minute post before I pack my bags and head out of town. Have fun in Chicago, ladies who blog. Wish I were here to meet you and show you around...
India House
59 West Grand Ave
Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 645-9500
Two words: Lunch Buffet.
Coalfire Pizza
1321 W Grand Ave
Chicago, IL 60622
(312) 226-2625
Charred thin crust Pizza - traditional Neopolitan style. We only order the Margherita. It's beyond perfect.
de cero
814 W. Randolph Street
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 455-8114
Love the small soft tacos! My favorite: skirt steak with potatoes, onion, cilantro, lime, and chipotle mayo. Battered shrimp is fabulous too.
Matchbox
770 North Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, Illinois 60622
(312) 666-9292
Though it's a bar and restaurant (inside a very cool train car, no less!) I've only had drinks here. The pineapple infused vodka gimlet is NOT to be missed.
Mixteco Grill
1601 W Montrose Ave
Chicago, IL 60613
(773) 868-1601
Fine Oaxacan from a Frontera Grill/Topolobampo alum. BYOB to boot.
There's many other fine places, of course. And given the conference's location, I'd be remiss if I didn't send anyone to Fox & Obel for breakfast or to find a selection of fine cheeses to take back home. Or Volare, my favorite downtown lunch spot. I can hardly pick between Bistro Zinc and Bistro Margot in Old Town, or Athena in Greektown. Oh, Chicago! How well you feed us!
