Just don't drive to New York, in a van, with your friends. Or cry in the bathroom.

any good dessert places in chicago?

haven't been in chicago in many many years, but greek town used to be lots of fun and had good food at reasonable prices.

check with someone who knows the city recently, please. it could be a pretty tough neighborhood, but it was right by Univeristy of Illinois at Chicago Campus, so we went there a lot!

... what time do bars close in Chi-town?

[/ QUOTE ]

On the weekend, some bars close at 2am, some 4am. You won't have a problem finding a bar that stays open till 4am.

i don't know how foofy you want to get for dessert, but one of the best is a medium secret:

the very good restaurant "Tru" downtown has i believe friday and saturday only dessert reservations, around $25 i think? easier reservations than dinner seatings, significantly cheaper. really cool bar/waiting area at the restaurant, good art/feel to the place, and superior food. dessert chef is gail ganz i believe is the spelling?

i've heard decent thigns about hotchocolate but have not been there yet myself. if i think of any more i'll let you know.

for food stuff: lawry's prime rib is a very nice prime rib steakhouse, and a moroccan place called tizi melloul is very, very nice. also has an all you can eat appetizers all you can drink house wine and belly dancing on one night of weekends.

I'm a white sox fan, and even I wouldn't reccomend that someone not got to wrigley field. Seriously, bad advice.
