    Yeah, I can see pizza on my menu several times. Might as well experience as much as I can while I'm here, so it's a different place for every meal.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      I saw that add - made me think we had to sign up and pay for it, but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong and prolly not the last. I can have Sean call them today and find out unless yall beat me to it.

        As a one time frequent visitor to Chicago, I can tell you Portillo's is awesome. There is one within walking distance of AYMM and that is where you will find me.

          That Portillo's is almost literally across the street from the hotel. You could walk it in probably less than 5 minutes. Everybody should try Portillo's once. It's that good.

                There's a small store called "Bagels and Bialys" on Dempster Road in Skokie, that offers same-day cooked goods. I was introduced to the place some time in the late sixties, and it is still there. I must confess I have not eaten there in many years, but it was where I first fell in love with fresh bagels.

                Edit (in a moment) to include the address...

                New York Bagel & Bialy, 3556 Dempster, Skokie -- (847)673-9388

                  Oops... I should have read through all the comments before posting that, but I'll leave it be, as it is a much-deserved endorsement along with the others.

                  Darn... now I'm craving a fresh bagel...

                      No breakfast folks.
                      I called the hotel and breakfast is a paid option based on your reservation.
                      My reservation did not include the breakfast option.
                      If I wish to modify my reservation, I can - but breakfast is $14 per person (did not catch if that was per day or per stay) and is payable at that cafe in the hotel, or billable to my room.
                      Breakfast is a buffet style.
                      I’m bringing my Keurig for sure so I don’t have to leave my room and have coffee my way...maybe I’ll bring my skillet and some sausage and eggs LOL...maybe a toaster too. haha

                      Friday night we usually do pizza - I am assuming that will still be the case.
                      Saturday we used to have the hotdogs, brownies, chips, etc....but this year we won’t have that. Should I bring a slow cooker and hotdogs? (can you tell I am hungry)

                        If anyone wants to get their BBQ on Thursday night or whenever there is a place about 20 minutes from the hotel that I eat at at least once a week. Pulled pork chicken brisket ribs burnt ends etc. etc. we should have enough cars to carpool there if anyone's interested.

                            That place is really, really good. Every time I go there, I end up with the meat sweats, but in a good way.

                              That's a bummer about the breakfast. There's a Panera bread across the street and a Corner Bakery in the mall a short walk away. There's also a grocery store right behind the hotel if you want to stock up on stuff.
