Couple of Nola style bars near by too: Toon's and Blue Bayou. Toons has a crawfish boil that I go to every year. Best boil in Chicago IMO.

I went to a New Orleans style bar in Chi town when I was there in July and thought it sucked. The Local Option. Terrible food, rude staff, weird atmosphere. Had a nice beer selection though, but that can be found many places up there. Walked down the street to a bar on the corner and had a much better time.

Make sure you get some Deep Dish Pizza, either Lou Mals or Giordanos.

My buddy in Chicago says the 2 best pizza joints are Piece (for thin crust) and My Pie (for deep dish). Does he know what he's talking about?

There was also a Mexican place near downtown that was really good and absolutely crawling with babes .. don't recall the name though. Almost like a club atmosphere in there, but not that douchey.

Also, O Brah.. Lula Cafe utterly fantastic meal
