Snap some photos! It's truly impossible to take a bad picture of this building's interior.
Escalators are perpetually broken and the only way up and down to the food court is a elevator with a long line of people
cecil mathewMarch 10, 2010Make sure to use the Great State Fare Card which gets you 10% off most food in the food court. You can get the card from Jazzman's Internet Cafe located on the lower level.

Lots of tables but it still gets busy in the food court at lunchtime.
Kate SpenceMarch 15, 2012Go over those signs like a crazy person. I've been driving ten years and almost got caught up on the signs without text.
Jeffery MasseyApril 18, 2011Center of the Known Universe...especially if you're lost downtown & owe the state some $$$...lol Very vibrant concourse, alive with Chicagoans on the move...

Check out new orleans kitchen and try the bourbon chicken. It's so good, trust me!- The architect wanted a thermal layer of glass for temp control, but the State wouldn't pay for it. Hence, the temp problems in the summer.
If you're going to eat here try not sit @ the tables under the escalators. That area has a bad smell from time to time.

You may recognize the atrium from the Billy Crystal movie, "Running Scared."
