Stone crabs are a pricey delicacy that I enjoy a couple times a year. Get a steak and a martini with blue cheese olives to go with for the win.
The crab cakes might as well be your sins because they are to die for.
Start with the sweet, cool stone crabs and a delicious chopped salad that could easily feed two. Go straight to the top with the bone-in New York strip or the Alaskan king crab legs served chilled. Read more.
No great bike parking options here! Just a couple trees...
A fun place to explore and see new Italian options.
It doesn't get much hotter than Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's land of magic and pasta. With eight restaurants and a world of retail, Chicago's food scene has been greatly expanded.

Be sure to validate your parking ticket and pay for your parking BEFORE the performance. It will save you so much time as you pass all those waiting in line to pay after the play.
I love Navy Pier. Great location on the water. Besides all the Food and Beverage offerings, Children's Museum and more...you all can enjoy the Wheel! 360 degree views inside a gondola all year round!
Amazing view for lakeside
A super fun experience. More for little kids. Got to go around a few times which was super fun. Line to get on seemed long but went by super fast. Overpriced, but worth it.
Express lunch with miso soup, salad-san, tuna trio (akami, chutoro, otoro), and raw tuna and avocado rice bowl
10-course omakase: doesn’t look like much, but it was very tasty and very worth it
Japanese Breakfast (Fluffy, wobbly, panda-monium pancakes with matcha butter and Okinawan black sugar syrup)
They have a parking lot.
They have parking!
For a great cheese platter paring or dessert wine, try the Fenn Valley 42 Ice Wine
Take public transportation when going to HOB Chicago! Parking can be a killer on the wallet. Just think about how much more drink money you'll have if you don't have to pay $15-$40 for parking!
The ribs and the cornbread are amazing. It's definitely one of the best places to get these in Chicago.

Good food selection and validated parking, can't be beat!
Their parking is free with validation. Don't be afraid to bring the car!
One of the best steaks I have had in Chicago. The vibe was killer, steaks cooked to perfection, and accompanying dishes were wonderful. Just be sure to save room for that coconut pie.
Filet mignon was to die for. Save room for dessert and get the sundae tower😍 literally the best

If you join the museum with parking privileges, it's really worth it. You can take your kids for short visits and not worry about $20-$25 parking fees.
Best museum to take kids! So many interactive exhibits, and they have good adult spaces to rest as well

This place has a great collection of exhibits. Given its location, it feels like it's hidden away. Looking for cheap parking nearby can be quite a challenge, though.
Small but perfectly formed with some interesting collections. Good gift shop too.
One of the nation's largest facilities devoted to the art of our time the Museum offers exhibitions of art created since 1945. It boasts a terraced sculpture garden with a great view of Lake Michigan.
Try to get a room rate with parking rolled in if traveling with a car. Your wallet will thank you.
Check for a package deal with valet parking. You'll get unlimited in/out privileges, and you'll save a bunch compared to paying for parking separately each time you come and go.
Parking is outrageous but if you're coming and going... Valet is the best option. Hands down.
Got the Cajun Ribeye and the truffled potatoes. Very very good.

Just going for a drink? Head to the terrace.
Eat at one of the named restaurants and get $14 off your parking...otherwise $24. YIKES!
Get there early. Not fun to pay $30 for alternate public parking. Stained glass "museum" is stunning!
I hadn't been to Navy Pier in so long. The view (skyline) was so beautiful and there was so much diversity. It's a must go again. However, parking was a little steep ($25) lol.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
