Pequod's Pizza
Our vote for deep-dish if you're craving a truly Chicago weekend.

Hip sushi restaurant in the heart of River North.
J.P. Graziano Grocery
Arguably the best hole-in-the-wall deli sandwich in the city.

Our choice for best steakhouse in the city. Also one of the hardest restervations in town.
Erie Cafe
Classic, old-school Chicago Italian steakhouse around the corner from Matt and Olivia.
