I recommend going to this place in the summer when they've got their outdoor seating all set up. You can always here great music and taste better than bar food food. It's a great place to go for a couple of drinks and sit in the sun or even have dinner. Try it!

I just heard on the radio yesterday that this great Chicago institution is closing in Feburary '06. That is so sad; another fixture of Chicago bites the dust.
This is a wonderful German-American restaurant that I have been going to since I was a kid. Its downtown location made it convenient for lunch while visiting the Art Institute or anything else downtown, or dinner before the theatre.
It has real career waiters, walnut walls, classic moderately priced meals. It is one of those reliable old places that always produced a good meal at a good price with decent service.
I remember going to the bar when I turned old enough to drink and happily quaffing the house dark beer.
Go quick!

I stop at Starbucks approximately twice a month. I am by no means an every day Starbucks visitor but on the occasion, I like to treat myself to one of their drinks.
I stop in this Starbucks around 10am one morning this week and I found another customer placing a large order of gift cards, mugs, bags of coffee, etc. I was in no rush so I let her complete her order even though she offered for me to jump ahead.
I proceed to wait just a few moments and then I order a chi tea latte. I sit down as I wait for my beverage to be ready. Quite some time passes, a wave of people come in and get there coffee and leave. They see me sitting, reading the newspaper. The barista asked what did I order. I reiterate my order and she apologizes. She prepares my coffee and then give me a coupon for a free beverage. I was grateful for her customer service skills and recognition of that fact that I was forgotten!

Starbucks has become a household name now. It is so common it is almost sickening. But there are a few things here that are hard to find anywhere else! The cafe mocha drink here is so good and I have yet to find anyplace else that can make it as good. On a daily basis though, it does get quite expensive. But what can you do? Life has almost become dependent on this huge chain.

This is my favorite Starbucks in Chicago, and the only one in the city that I will even step into. They have their own satellite radio station, something like "Starbucks Radio." The station plays one of the smoothest mixes of music I've ever heard. Only problem is that if you go there for a couple days in a row, you'll begin to hear a pattern of the same songs. Still there's something special about being able to hear Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Spanish Rock and NIck Drake all in the time it takes you to drink a grande half caf low fat soy latte.
This Starbucks is in the heart of the gallery district (River North area).I've heard great things about their free Saturday morning gallery walk. They have great art on the walls, interesting clientèle and a groovy staff that will often sing along with the music. They've got their regulars, and I may be considered one of them because I'm there at least 3 times a week. I usually get there around 6:15 and am able to mellow out a little before work starts.
I give this place 5 stars because of the music. But I must say that they do know how to brew coffee here too. This is not your typical Starbucks, the coffee is pretty good here. And again, they'll serve you in a mug if you ask and give you a free refill if you are nice.

One night, I was vegging out in front of the TV, when a sudden craving for steak came over me. I was already in my pajamas and had no desire to trek outside in the cold, despite my love of red meat. The solution? Select Cut Steak House. I was a bit skeptical about a steakhouse that delivers, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my filet mignon. And Select Cut packed everything very well, from the separately packaged butter and sour cream for my baked potato to seasonings for the steak. I've actually never been inside the actual restaurant, but if the delivery service and quality I received is any indication, you can't go wrong with this establishment.

Good: The upholstery work was fantastic. The seams are all straight and the bar stools don't wobble at all.. Bad: I would have preferred to buy direct.. Improvements: It would be nice if they could offer more items since the quality is so good..
