Oktoberfest, Germany- Any info?
i'm in the same boat! i don't have any beer tent reservations either. i'm gonna try to show up very early next Friday morning (i get in thursday afternoon). i heard the weekends are impossible, so Friday might be my only shot.
where have you seen tickets for $250 online? that's crazy....
Town Hall, Salt House, or Anchor & Hope
town hall for sure, hands down. anchor and hope is a completely uneven experience both food and service-wise. salt house is totally solid IMO, but town hall just does it for me. the biscuits, fried chicken, duck, and one of the best dessert menus in the city all add up to a top notch dining experience.

Visiting from SF, need Father's Day restaurant rec
by the way is it just me or do the prices for these casual fine dining restaurants seem significantly higher than comparable places in SF? Aigre Doux, Blackbird, Naha, etc., I feel like I've looked at them all and the average price for an entree is well above $30, I would say around $35. In SF I would say the sweet spot is $25, and not much higher than that (i.e. A16, Town Hall, Bacar, Coco500, Zuni Cafe, Delfina, etc.).

Visiting from SF, need Father's Day restaurant rec
Hi All. I'll be visiting Chicago for the first time with my family on Father's Day weekend. We are all from the SF Bay Area. I wanted to see what you fellow chowhounds recommend in terms of nice restaurants for dinner on a Saturday night. I'm not looking to go all out at a place like Alinea, Moto, L2O, etc. San Francisco is full of great restaurants at the level right below that top echelon and this is what I would be looking for. We are staying near E Chicago and N Michigan avenues, so something in that general area would be ideal. In terms of cuisine preference, we are open to anything. Thanks in advance for your recommendations! Cheers.
Relatively inexpensive, fun eats in the Mission - Lolo or Specchio?
haven't eaten at either of those, but my go-to spot in the mission is Beretta. great drinks, neopolitan pizzas, and risotto.
