Will be taking the SWC in October w/ a layover in Chicago. Any recommendations for nearby (within 1/2 mile) restaurants?
It that a safe area in the daytime? Thanks!!If you like Greek Food:
A quick 5 block walk west of Chicago Union Station is Greek Town itself.
It's on Halstead Street and has a whole slew of different greek restaurants.
Yum.
i looked at that blog, and though some of the menu items of the original Berghoff have returned to the cafe menu, its still very sad to me that the original restaurant isn't open anymore(i may return, but only to try some of the traditional German items that were once on the restaurant's menu). still though, maybe this'll finally give me an incentive to try some different German restaurants in town that i've kept wanting to go to for years, such as Chicago Brauhaus and Laschet's Inn. this talk about the Berghoff makes me also mourn the loss of the Golden Ox restaurant(another great former German restaurant), which used to be at North and Clybourn until a few years ago.MrFSS said:They have sort of re-opened. Not the full restaurant, but sort of a cafe type place. I think it is called the same but under new management???
Here is a blog about the place and the reopening in May, 2006.
Since this conversation has drifted away from the 1/2 mile radius of CUS...boratwanksta said:still though, maybe this'll finally give me an incentive to try some different German restaurants in town that i've kept wanting to go to for years
