Thompson Hotel
A great place to stay for your business trip to Chicago – although, for your meeting’s sake, you might want to stay away from the hotel bar, and the restaurant Nico Osteria for that matter, both of which have an enchanting way of keeping guests up late.

Lawry's The Prime Rib
This restaurant with a long history focuses on serving the very best prime rib. But were you to turn up in flip flops and swim wear, you won't be allowed in - best to get changed first.

For the fancy business lunch, right on Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile. Without a reservation you’d better show up early or late. At noon sharp the house is packed with people enjoying the extraordinary ahi tuna salad.
