Chicago - any members ?

Hi,

I see that there are a large number of members from the US.
I'm due to go to Chicago at the end of May and wondered if anyone can recommend some places to go and recommend some restaraunts. I'll be there for 6 days on a conference.

TIA,
Simon

Simon, if you have the time go see the Art Institute, you won't be disappointed. And there is world class shopping on the Magnificent Mile which is located on North Michigan Ave, north of the Chicago river!!!

Top quality French food can be found at the Everest Room. Nothing like it.
