Nookies Tree became my usual spot for a late breakfast or lunch when I lived in the area. The menu has a little bit of everything, as well as some daily specials. I am a creature of habit, so I fell in love with the Turkey a la Normandy, a turkey burger with a ton of blue cheese crumbles and fresh spinach leaves. The sandwiches come with a cup of soup, or some other stuff that I never order, like fries. Nookies has salads and regular burgers, more typical sandwiches, as well as really good breakfasts. They usually have unique selections of pancakes or something in the comfort food category. The service is adequate, with a few bright spots here and there, but the place is usually quite busy, so I guess they do their best (I try to think the best of people, a problem, I know). Prices are reasonable, with a lunch or breakfast for two running around $20. Oh, and get the juice. It's fresh-squeezed, and really tasty.

The meat is delicious and so tender! I had the filet before, and the empanadas are great as an appetizer. I love that it's BYOB too.

The Field Museum is more than a storehouse for biological and historical items; it's a place to learn without feeling like you're being instructed. The exhibits are really well put together, from shoes to dinosaurs.
Be sure to see the King Tut exhibit, open through January 2007. Admission extra.
City Pass saves you 50% on regular admission.
A good trip for families, friends and, of course, school groups.

Nine is the place I love to go for for really good steaks. The stakes here are really hearty and cooked just as you order them. They also have a specialty in seafood and they have this shellfish platter on their menu which is just amazing. The restaurant is really upscale and has sleek leather type booths. The setting is really sophisticated and the food is just as great. This place is super expensive, but I usually go here for business meetings so it doesn't make that big of a difference to me!

I took my engagement ring and wedding band into Steve Quick Jeweler's to have it updated and redone. I was amazed by the level of service, Dana was exceptional in explaining different options and price points. By the time I left my ring with them I felt completely comfortable with my decision. They definitely under promise and over deliver - my ring was done earlier than had expected and was absolutely AMAZING. All of this at a very affordable price.
I would highly recommend Steve Quick Jeweler's!!
Pros: Excellent Quality, Reasonably Priced, Competent Staff
Cons: None that I experienced

They have absolutely the best grilled portabella sandwhich I've tried anywhere. The portabella mushroom is thick and robust with a good flavor. Took my aunt and uncle visiting from India and they loved it there. From the appetizers, the calamari was excellent, and the crab rangoon and salmon rolls were hits as well. Strawberry cheesecake of course, was excellent. Service was very, very good...the waiter was friendly and good humored in a way that suited the environment. Portions are large, so you get good value. We went for lunch on a weekday, and there was basically no wait. Great location, too...being at the base of the Hancock building, its a nice place for lunch after being up at the observatory.
Pros: Great food, and portions are large
Cons: Several forks had bent prongs for some reason

If you need a massage, go to Anne! I first met her at the Old Town Salon 1800 (where I go for many services), but recently she started working at the Armitage location. My back was in so much pain, and Anne sat down with me to ask questions to figure out what was going on. The massage was really intense, but i walked out feeling like a new person! Now i go there every 3 weeks to see her. If you're in pain, go to see Anne! She'll fix you!
Pros: Best massage I've ever had
Cons: I wish I could get one every week!

I moved to Chicago and few years and I have gone though a dozen or so chiropractors trying to get some pain relief from my T.M.J. Finely, this past summer I heard of Dr. Donahue at Chicago Spine and Sports though a co-worker. Dr. Donahue immediately made me feel at home and was able to relieve my T.M.J. pain. He even gave me exercises to help relieve the pain at home. I go to see him any time I have any bone, muscle or joint pain. I can't recommend him enough. Go see him if you have any aches or pains and I know you won't be sorry.
Pros: Beautiful facility and caring staff.
Cons: Dr. Donahue doesn't make house calls.
