From Midway, take the Stevenson (I-55) north and exit onto Lake Shore Drive north. Get off of LSD somewhere near Congress or Monroe by turning left, heading west 2 blocks, and turning right to travel north on Michigan Avenue. Travel on Michigan about six-eight blocks, notice you're crossing the river, and then count (I believe) six more blocks to Ontario. If you pass the Water Tower, you're two blocks too far north. Gino's is 1/2 block east of Michigan on Ontario. You can't park right out front, so you'll need to find a garage to park (or an open meter - a rare commodity during lunch on Friday). Be sure to watch the many 'One Way' signs in the area - the CPD does. Other favorites are: Ed Debevic's at Ontario and Wells, 8 blocks west of Michigan Ave. Realisitc 50s/60s atmos. complete with sarcastic service and great food. Hard Rock Cafe, 1 block east of Ed's on Ontario. Avant garde place, decent food, more of a place to say you've gone than to go to eat. A-1 Beanery, North Pier Mall, Illinois and Grand. Excellent Mexican-Texican cuisine, decent prices and the world's *best* red wine sangrias. Well, hope this helps. Enjoy the Windy City. p.s. If you could email me any other responses you get, I'd appreciate them. I'm always looking for new places to go and new ways to get there. thanks
