20 librarians in search of a bar
For something less crowded and chic and more "hang out" style with dinner food, try Miller's Pub. Brando's also is a alot of fun - more martini bar, with cheap drink specials, very cheap for the Loop.
Breakfast in the Loop
I have a friend in town for just one weekday morning. We are in the Loop, but are willing to head to the Mag Mile since he has an appointment there. Any suggestions for a reasonable price??
Wine Shop
I like smaller, more intimate stores with helpful staff and not the giant warehouses. Try Just Grapes or The Wine Consortium. If you call ahead, they can give you an idea of what they stock and some suggestions as well.

Go to Dominicks and buy tickets so as not to have to wait in line. Costs the same.
The Taste: Convince Me
Jerk chicken is a waste. Always go for the unique.
I loved loved the mustard crusted catfish.
We also had goat and plantains from Vee Vees, great baklava, gator sausage (not so unique but good) and cumin dusted fries.
I admit, we go because we live practically across the street and bought our tickets early. Don't waste money on drinks and bring your own water. There are a few things I think would also be interesting to try, including Irish egg rolls and the crispy noodle shrimp and shark. Forget the pizza and hotdogs - get them somewhere cheaper.
