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

Know exactly where it is, near Depaul in Lincoln Park. Never been but probably driven past it 300 times.

Piece is in my neighborhood- solid for thin crust. Cool place too. They brew their own beer also.

My Pie is ok. I order takeout sandwiches from there all the time, never get pizza though.

Mercadito? If so, Love that place.
