Welcome to Chicago, the "city of broad shoulders," numerous cultural and educational attractions, and excellent restaurants. Eating on Chicago's Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue) and in the surrounding downtown area can pose problems inasmuch as there are so many and such a variety of good eateries from which to choose. The list below, with a few exceptions, includes restaurants that are within walking distance of all four convention hotels. We have included a wide variety of ethnic as well as some traditional American restaurants. For those who are in a hurry or desire inexpensive meals, we have also compiled a list of fast-food emporiums. For the better restaurants, we strongly recommend reservations, especially for evening dining. Chicagoans respect promptness; do not expect your reservation to be honored more than 10 minutes after the appointed time. If inclement weather delays your arrival, call ahead and allow sufficient time to get there.
