I’m heading to Chicago tomorrow for two nights with two 18 year olds to check out School of Art institute of Chicago - staying right by there.

Any recommendation for dinner walking distance rom Art Institute area for Saturday night? Nothing fancy - Uggh looks like it’s Valentine’s day too.

Sunday I was going to try to hit Kasama for breakfast goods. I have a reservation at The Duck Inn for dinner, my college age niece in Chicago joining us, but open to other places. Any recs for best hot dogs/sausages/Chicago Beef for lunch?

Monday I might sneak off for lunch by myself while the girls are in college presentation - not sure where. Thanks!

The best hot dog is whatever the closest hot dog joint is. So long as they’re serving Vienna dogs, you’re probably good. Personally, I think you need cheese fries to complete the experience.

For Italian beef, Al’s Beef on Taylor or Mr. Beef on Orleans.

While you have the time, take in what the Art Institute has to offer. It’s a world class museum. And best of luck to your prospective students.

Thanks! I’ve been to Chicago a few times, but somehow have never gotten an Italian beef. My daughter and her friend were both admitted, so we’re doing the tours before the final decisions are due in May.
