Where much of my paycheck goes. The difference between AKIRA and H&M (similar look/price point), is their stylists, who can sort through all of the options to find stuff that will look great on you.
If the line is super long in the morning, go down the stairs in the building next door and grab your coffee in the pedway. Voila, no line.
It's a sports bar. In the pedway! In-Fields is where I go when I want to have a quiet lunch away from my office.
Oh Andy's. Your frozen custard is so delicious! I typically get vanilla custard with peanut butter sauce. Yum.
One of several great eateries at Seven on State in Macy's. Head to Frontera Fresco for Tortilla Soup, Takahashi for (real) Ramen and Marc Burger for, well, burgers.
Sometimes I pop down the street (from the Cultural Center) to take an art vacation over lunch. I enjoyed the Avant-Garde in Everyday Life exhibit a lot.
My favorite place in Millennium Park. Usually pretty quiet even during busy summer days. I like to take my lunch there and dip my feet in the water.
Where I get my art supplies. I like the kids who work here and it seems a little cheaper than Blick.
Merz is where I go when I'm looking for organic beauty products or small treats before I travel. Such a good fit at the historic Palmer House.
I go here pretty much exclusively for the bar specials. Unless there's a special event going on, you can eat in the bar area (which has a fireplace) without reservations.
A bit of a hike from where I work, but you can't beat the cheap Cuban sandwiches, or the delicious cafe con leche or mango pie. Mmm...
