Hi, all.
I'm getting ready for my next trip (Music Teacher's conference in Milwaukee!) next weekend. I couldn't have planned it better: I got the winter discounts, and I'll also get the double points for the spring.
On the way back, I'm meeting a friend who lives in Chicago. Since my layover is only two hours, we'll meet at Union Station, but it would be nice to have a quiet place to talk, preferably with coffee. The problem as I've found in the past, is that most places outside of Union Station close pretty early, the latest being Panera (closed at 7pm). Does anyone have any suggestions? We don't mind walking a few blocks, but I've only got two hours!
I've already seen this thread:

and I've briefly looked through this website:

Thanks, and happy travels!
