This place has brunch and dinner, though I highly recommend the brunch menu. Everything is delicious, but I recommend the Lobster Biscuits & Gravy and starting with Oyster Po Boys.

Many say it is the best brunch spot in the city with unique dishes you won't taste anywhere else. Across the street from the acclaimed Girl and the Goat restaurant (has the same chef).

My favorite restaurant in the city. It is an Asian-Fusion menu and fairly expensive. The place is also trendy, not the place to go if you're looking for a dive bar.

My favorite restaurant in Chicago and highly acclaimed, though the wait to get a reservation can be months (sometimes you can get one on Open Table). G&G is surprisingly affordable for the quality.

Chicago's premier nightclub open until 4 am. Not usually my scene but I've included it here if that's your thing. Guys are $20 cover and usually don't get in without an appropriate guy-girl ratio.

Like Underground, the 2nd of Chicago's premier nightclubs (though only open until 2). Fun for women and expensive for guys, who almost certainly need to buy a table to get in.
