Chicago, IL + Add a trip

This venue's permission to license Hecky's business name was revoked, and they are now known as "Hickory's of Chicago"

This business has been closed for some time because of a fire. Call first to make sure they have reopened.

the mussels with pomme frites are a must!

Be prepared to wait - but it is worth it. Don't miss Rick's cocktails at the bar.

My Favorite sushi place in the city.

Try the chicken satay -- it has a unique peanut sauce that's world class. Pad Thai is terrific as well.

The food is good and reasonably priced. Thought the belly dancing was a little cheesy.

Their black bread is out of this world, and their tea is very good, too. The food is very nice. Haven't had the English-style high tea, but this is where I usually stop for lunch or a snack after visiting the Art Institute.

Outstanding. The food is great (try the chicken curry crepe with mango chutney), and the ambience is, too. The Sunday brunch is fantastic.

Giordano's is a Chicago staple. The pizza is good (takes about 45 mins to get it though) and the locals wait for it.

Art of Pizza was named best overall pizza in Chicago by Time Out Chicago. I went once. They weren't kidding. Although the location is a bit misleading (it's in a tiny strip mall, I actually mistook the restaurant for a laundry mat when we first passed it) it's still worth the trip.

Excellent pizza and (usually) a nice relaxed atmosphere at this (literally) underground spot in Lincoln Park.

Handy if you're looking for good cheap food before seeing a band at the Double Door.

One of the best brunch spots in the city. Their French toast is wonderful, and Lincoln Square's a nice place to wander round with a fine range of shopping and particularly good book and music shops (Book Cellar and Laurie's Planet of Sound).

I saw a woman bum stick a cigar in her baby hole on that famous street where everyone hangs out.

This place is a good option - amazing building (the Carbon and Carbide) and great location on Michigan - short walk down to Millennium Park, Art Institute etc as well as to the stores on the Miracle Mile. Rooms are smart and functional and the three times I have stayed I've been upgraded twice. Amazing views from all floors - if you can, stay in the golden turret for the best views over the amazing architecture of this great city.

I love the breakfast at Bongo Room - if I am in Chicago for work, I always try and get there at least once (either place in Wicker Park, or on Printers Row) for a big and tasty breakfast

Amazing vegan sweets and awesome people. Everything is vegan friendly - but not too hippie. a great addition to chicago.

Phenomenal. Delicious, whimsical, intelligent vegetarian (basically) food. This was my eating highligt of Chicago.

Nice, clean, good rates on hotels.com. Sort of strangely clubby. Would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here in March and I was thrilled with the hotel and the service we got there. You come to expect the room to be clean and nice and it was but on a couple of occasions I was comped drinks and snacks during the middle of the night by the front desk staff. The banquet food was not only outstanding but several servers were given an applause by their tables for being so professional and courteous, something I have never seen before. No matter what I needed during my time here, someone was there to help. Not only would I stay there again, I can't wait to stay there again.

It is as good and as much fun as people say it is. I am glad we went and I would love to go again sometime.

I have never seen the kind of service, with the quality of food, with the affordable prices as I saw at the Grand Lux Cafe. It felt like a place where you expect to see movie stars and celebrities while giving you amazing food at a price that you don't think twice about.

My one tip is that when they ask you before you order what kind of dessert you want, make sure you order one as they are fantastic.

Just horrible. Mediocre food, terrible service plus a bad dining experience. Whoever thoughts that a high temperature, high humidity, and lots of noise makes for a pleasant evening out is crazy.

The food we had was average at best. When one of us asked if they could some more lettuce with her meal, the waitresses plopped down half a head of lettuce on our table and walked away.

I can't see myself ever going back to this place. There are so many other good restaurants in the vicinity.

I am a big fan of Cosi, it's a great place to grab a good light breakfast in the morning and a place to unwind at night over a good coffee.

Budget hotel with cheap rates on Travelocity. Very barebones. Would not really recommend it. The internet is down and the woman at the desk, says, "Well, I'm not IT and it's a free service!"

Great coffee shop. Large tables, not much noise, free wifi, excellent cappucino. If I lived in this neighborhood I would live here.

Stayed here on a work trip. Clean and well maintained. Quiet area, local Polish Supermarket has just about everything you could need.

Great Hotel. Staff very helpful. Shame I could only stay the one night. Recommended.

Probably the best steak I have eaten! The waiter was very helpful with the menu and attentive to our needs. Great restaurant. 10+

BEST TOURS... walking- Mies van der Roehe, Frank LLoyd Wright, Modern, HIstoric, also do the boat tours...smart docents :)

The Skydeck of the Sears Tower is definitely worth the $ 15.00. It offers amazing views over the city and Lake Michigan. On a clear day you can see all the suburbs spreading out to the West and the endless blue water of the lake to the East - brilliant!

Another way to experience these views would be going up to the Observatory of the Hancock Tower (a bit more pricy at $ 20.00) or enjoying a dinner / lunch at the Signature Room restaurant on top of the Hancock Tower.

If you have the chance to get tickets for a Cubs game at Wrigley Field on sunny spring or summer day - I highly recommend it! The atmosphere in this old-fashioned baseball stadium is just amazing. Based in a rather residential area of Chicago, it is surrounded by plenty of bars for pre- and after- game drinks and has a Taco Bell nearby as well.

Excellent upscale and refined Mexican cuisine can be found here. Reservations are highly recommended.
