Based on your general location (top of Michigan), I can give you some quick recommendations in the immediate vicinity of your hotel, but let me know if you don't mind venturing out a bit more into River North / Old Town, which are both near your hotel. Otherwise, can you give some recommendations for Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, West Loop, etc.

- Velvet Taco is a solid spot for lunch/dinner.

- Hash House a Go Go and 3rd Coast are walking distance from your hotel, I would assume, but Pancake House will be quickest.

- There's better coffee in Chicago, but Whispers is a shack in the middle of a small park (I always forget what it's called) sandwiched between Rush and State.

- For dinner, you could check out Purple Pig. You'll, likely, see a wait, but it's about a 15-20 minute walk down Michigan. Otherwise, Morton's, Gibsons, Blue Door, and Carmine's are close to your hotel.

- Not sure how old you are, but bars on Division in the Gold Coast area are a quick walk. Mostly young professionals, but Hopsmith and Butch McGuire's are popular.

- One of my favorite cocktail bars, Sparrow, should be very close to your hotel.

Viagra Triangle FTW

Hoops once again pretty much nailed it.

If you want to get some good higher end BBQ I'd also suggest checking out Chicago Q. Not far from where you are and has a bar if you want to belly up and grab a drink and some food.
