Hyatt McCormick – Ah, you’ll actually be in Bridgeport, very close to Chinatown. If you’re into chinese decorations, knick-knacks and dim sum…they’re at very cheap prices there (compared to downtown Chicago).

Little Italy, Greektown and Jew town are another great collection of restaurants…..it’s about 5 minutes west from your hotel.

As for the museum area, just select “CITY DOWNTOWN” on the Web site. Downtown especially has many restaurants to choose from.

There are also restaurants w/ great views from the top of the Sears tower and John Hancock building….oh and also on the boats off of Navy Pier.

Here are a few links that might help you become more familiar w/ the area:
