Title: Tell the Hilljacks Where to Eat
Post by: SKO on September 18, 2017, 11:22:35 AM
Hi y'all. The wife and I have tickets to see Hamilton on September 30th. It's a 2:30 show, gonna take the train in to town then leave late that night probably. I don't really know the area around the Private Bank Theater at all, so anybody got some good recommendations for a quick/cheapish lunch before the show and a fancier dinner afterwards?

We like just about anything, but usually if we leave bugtussle to the go to the fancy city we try do get something we can't get around here (so good pizza places are fine, but Iowa got pizza sometime around 1982 so anything more original than that is welcome)

What time will you arrive on Saturday?
If you have a limited amount of time and want someplace close and reasonable for lunch that has an old time Loop feel to it try Miller's Pub.
Saturday afternoons in the Loop are weird.

I didn't realize Heaven on Seven was open on Saturday afternoons as well:
http://www.heavenonseven.com/wabash.html (http://www.heavenonseven.com/wabash.html)

I'm guessing it will be pretty empty.

Both are really good but depending on how much time you have the search can broaden significantly.

Greektown is very close to your train and has great inexpensive options.
Although everyone has their favorites my two are Roditys and Santorini.

For a fancy-pants dinner, our go-to for special occasions is Bavette's (http://bavette's). Great atmosphere (it's pretty dark so no one will notice that you're wearing sweatpants) and don't be too intimidated by some of the insanely priced seafood & steak items - they have what I think is the best burger in town and the fried chicken is outstanding as well, along with some other not-insanely-priced entrees.

You won't be able to get a reservation but if it's just the two of you, you should be able to snag a spot at the bar or even a table within an hour or so. About a 10 minute walk from the theater.

Excellent choice but a heads up: they are cash only.

If you decide to skip the hot spots (http://locations.thecheesecakefactory.com/il/chicago-12.html), Berghoff's is always a solid option for large portions. You can just spend the train ride home in a food coma.

Can't argue with Heaven on 7, but avoid the chicken fried steak if you don't want to sleep through the show.

Kilwins just opened on Michigan Avenue (310S, south of  Symphony Center) if you are looking for candy or ice cream.  Unfortunately, Black Dog Gelato is closed Saturday's.

For good food in a pretty loud place.. there is always the Publican over on Fulton Market (a longish walk but a short cab/uber from the theater).   If you want something different, Chinatown is like 3-4 redline stops south.  MingHin and the Phoenix is the hawk family's standard haunts.

I can vouch for the Phoenix, having been taken there by Hawk - try the chicken feet, they're fucking revolting!  If you're going head down to Chinatown, though, you might as well go to Ricobene's.  Fuck sake.  What a sammich.

EDIT: I can also heartily recommend Kilwin's, although I had no idea it was a national chain.  I went to the one in Franklin, TN, and thought that was it.  The more you know, eh?

The implication was clear, I thought: you could go to Chinatown, or you could go a little further and have Ricobene's.  You ornery fucking Mick.

Can't argue with Heaven on 7, but avoid the chicken fried steak if you don't want to sleep through the show.

Kilwins just opened on Michigan Avenue (310S, south of  Symphony Center) if you are looking for candy or ice cream.  Unfortunately, Black Dog Gelato is closed Saturday's.

For good food in a pretty loud place.. there is always the Publican over on Fulton Market (a longish walk but a short cab/uber from the theater).   If you want something different, Chinatown is like 3-4 redline stops south.  MingHin and the Phoenix is the hawk family's standard haunts.



I can vouch for the Phoenix, having been taken there by Hawk - try the chicken feet, they're fucking revolting!  If you're going head down to Chinatown, though, you might as well go to Ricobene's.  Fuck sake.  What a sammich.

Bridgeport ain't Chinatown, hoss. 

If you're going to Chinatown, maybe eat Chinese food?

CHINESE FOOD MAKES ME SICK

AND I THINK IT'S FLY WHEN GIRLS STOP BY FOR THE SUMMER

(for the summer)

I LIKE GIRLS WHO WEAR ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH

I'D TAKE HER IF I HAD ONE WISH

BUT SHE'S BEEN GONE SINCE THAT SUMMER

Kinda hard to talk to anybody while being balls deep in each other's throats.

Holy shit was Heaven on Seven good. I ordered a po'boy with a side of gumbo and even tho the po'boy was amazing I wish I'd just gotten a fucking bucket of gumbo.

We went to Italian Village for dinner. Wasn't the most interesting sounding place but we were exhausted after leaving bug tussle at 5 AM and walking around all day and it was near the hotel. It was good, not great

Hi y'all. The wife and I have tickets to see Hamilton on September 30th.

Sigh.

ehem.

My niece is obsessed with Hamilton so my wife and I decided to make her year by buying her Hamilton tickets (mostly because I'm pretty sure my wife just wanted to see it again). I am not going, however, but the friend who was supposed to go with my wife bailed on her so I am going to be accompanying the two of them up to Chicago because my wife doesn't feel comfortable getting there with our niece all by herself.

So anywho I'm in the city from like noon to four or five Saturday with nothing to do. Anybody wanna do lunch?

You should try to get into Wrigley for the division clincher.  Tickets are not exactly selling like hotcakes.

What Huey's saying is, he wants to scalp his tickets.

I don't have tickets for Saturday, I'm just trying to help a dude out with some good advice.
