Evening meal today will probably be Ed Debevic's (The Flyer family is headed for the Museum of Science and Industry today)

There's a hot dog cart outside of the aquarium which is apparently a big favorite for pregnant women.

Hey, I wasn't pregnant. Pretty good hot dog.

We're headed to the Field Museum. That's kinda near the aquarium, right?

My kid is wicked excited to see Sue the T-Rex. I am, too.

Al's Beef in downtown was on Man V Food, so we had to go there on our trip to Chi Town 2 years ago, it was awesome and I highly recommend it. Giordanos was amazing, I know you went, but anyone else I don't think you'll find a better Chicago style pizza...

We travel quite a bit and I'm a miser (so I'm told by my wifey), anyway we do a lot of VBRO, but for Chicago we worked with a property management company called Bridgestreet. They have several upscale apartments in downtown Chicago and several cities around the country. We had a very nice, well furnished apartment overlooking Millennium park with a covered rooftop pool and two bedrooms for less than we could book a downtown hotel...

That looks so good! It's a bit from our hotel for Saturday, but I think it's worth the hike. Not like I haven't been hiked all over Chicago before.

Just note that I think they aren't open on Sundays. The last time we tried to go we couldn't bc they were closed.

I checked with the hubby today, he says though it is a close comparison, Lou's pizza is better (especially if you are going with a sausage one)

I also really want the Italian Beef Sandwich.

Make sure you see find the man-eating lions of Tsavo - pretty cool story behind them.

Also, fresh Garrett's caramel popcorn from one of their stores - yummy...........

Giordanos, like Gino's east, has a really thin sauce....it's pizza, you shouldn't have sauce dripping down your wrist while eating.

but Gino's lets you graffiti the place while you wait...

Never had that fresh, but it was included in one of the packages I bought and had shipped...
