OK, I can stay downtown instead of by ORD.

Decided to splurge and stay at The Drake as well. Look forward to meeting kokonutz and anyone else who's in the neighborhood.

OK, I'm thinking Big Bowl at Cedar and State (6 E. Cedar), some time around 7.30 or 8pm. This is a Lettuce Entertain You Asian restaurant and is convenient to those straggling over from the Drake.

We had a gathering here a few months ago with some of the same people, but I don't have a better idea right now.

Lemme know what you think.

I can't go to the one on Ohio, despite the closeness to Goat's bachelor pad. I like the one on Cedar (1100 N?). Plus, it's closer to better bars (Blue Agave!).

I suggested it because we did pizza the last time, and Heaven on Seven the time before, and I think another group did a steakhouse recently, and it's near the Drake. This always seems to fall to me and I don't have the best knowledge of restaurants, so other suggestions are encouraged

Anyway, keep on confirming, folks, so I can get an idea of the size here.

Block off of Rush/Division. Maybe we walk south and hit Pippin's or Streeter's (Chicago/Rush). We can engulf those bars. It's not like there's NOT any bars around there.

Will someone make reservations, or should I?


iluv2fly:
No, I won't go to the one on Ohio. I went in for dinner myself one night, and I got charged for a handful of other meals too on my card. The manager there acted like it was a big favor to get my money back. I used to dine there once/twice a week, and I wasn't even given a nice apology. Screw 'em.
