Guidebook for Chicago
Food Scene
Tavern On Rush
1031 N Rush StI can't even describe this place. Possibly the most beautiful space in Chicago. Totally worth checking out, but can have long waits, so get there early. Or grab a coffee at the coffee counter and wander around the store while you wait.

Chicago is very into donuts at the moment - there are tons of gourmet donut shops - Doughnut Vault, Stan's, Glazed and Infused, Do-Rite - but Firecakes is by far the best.

Part of the Chicago Athletic Association. There are other bars here, including the more upscale Cherry Circle Room and Cindy's Rooftop bar. The Game room is fun and a bit rowdy, and features shuffleboard, pool, foosball, and bocce ball.

LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton
85 E Wacker DrAbsolute BEST view of Chicago. You can wait in line and pay $20 to go to 360 Chicago, on the 94th floor of the Hancock tower, or you can skip the line and go to the signature lounge on the 95th floor of the Hancock tower for a cocktail. The prices are steep, but at the end of the day, it's about the same as going to the observation deck, plus you get a drink!
