My favorite place for Brunch. This place is ALWAYS busy so be prepared to wait. This is one of the most popular restaurants in Chicago. Great for people watching and celebrity sightings.

Neighborhoods
One neighborhood North from the Gold Coast, you'll find many bars and restaurants on wells street. I recommend The Vig for food, the Old Town Pour house for game day and Hotel Lincoln for day drinking with a rooftop view of the lake. Take the 36 bus direct.
