Dana Hotel is a good choice. But the Hard Rock Hotel is also reasonably priced (as are most hotels that night) and is centrally located on Michigan Ave between Millenium Park and the mag mile. For Deep Dish Pizza, I agree with Ginos East, but even a stuffed pizza at Giordanos or Edwardos are good. Not a fan of Uno's even though they are supposedly the original DD Pizza. for hot dogs portillos is ok, but the best is Hot Dougs but unfortunately they are closed on Sundays. For Italian Beef in the city, I would go to Mr Beef on Orleans. But if you are really into places like Alinea, I would not waste my time with the pizza, hot dogs or italian beef. Chicago is a fine dining city. Not sure where you are from Arrows, but that will be superbowl sunday, so you might be able to get in some restaurants that normally will be booked months in advance. Not sure about getting into Alinea. Ruxbin on Ashland is an excellently priced well received restaurant but they do not take reservations. they are about a $10 cab ride from downtown. I would definitely consider going to a steakhouse in chicago - Gibsons, Mortons, Saloon, etc. You really can't go wrong. for things to do - definitely hit the art museum. Safe travels!
