I can't say that I've ever been to Gino's (because I haven't), so my best reccomendations for pizza in the Chicago area are Eduardo's (sp?), Uno's, and Due's. I know some people that think Due is the best place in town, and I know others that think the other two are good. I've also been to a few good Italian restaurants in the area, but I don't recall any of the names. Let's see... okay, if you want a good hot dog, you can either try the place under the 'El' right across the street from Wrigley Field (probably the best kosher hot dogs in town) and (if you could care less whether or not it's kosher) Poochie's, which north a little ways in Skokie or Evanston (either way, it'll be in the phone book). There are also some excellent delis up on Touhy Avenue. If you want something classy (and pretty darn expensive), you could go to The Four Seasons in the hotel. I've never been there (as if I could even afford it), but I do understand that it is known throughout the world for its fine dining. Someone next to me reccomended the Clay Oven, which is Indian Cuisine. Another guy here said the Pump Room is good, but kinda pricy. He also said that the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower has a restaurant. Basicly, almost anywhere in Chicago, good restaurants exist. I think I'd just do a little exploring, considering that there is so much to eat. Whatever you do, have fun. -Dan
