Chicago Lounge and St. Louis Restaurants

[ray828]

What time does the lounge in Chicago open up at? Would it be open for the departure of 301 at 7AM? Also, does anyone have any good suggestions for restaurants relatively close to the St. Louis station?

Thanks

Not sure on the Metropolitan Lounge.

You might consider Landry's Seafood which is about 4-5 blocks away in the old St Louis Union Station on Market Street.

No, the Met lounge won't be open in time. It opens at 7:45 AM, meaning you'll already be on your way.

The STL station is located in a formerly industrial area under a highway, but if you walk 5-6 blocks north you'll find the Washington Loft district with a number of cafes and such. Union Station (old depot converted to a mall) is two blocks west with its typical food court chains and a Hard Rock Cafe. Lombardo's, a fancier place, is said to exist there, but I've never been in. If you take the MetroLink east to the Convention Center station on the other side of downtown, a Pi (Chicago style pizza) restaurant and a couple other joints have recently opened.

Laundrys is overrated. The restaurant in the double tree is pretty good. Otherwise use the light rail to go to restaurant ov your choice after yelp research.
