Designers’ Guide to Chicago Dining


Other than, well, NeoCon of course, Chicago is known for its dining scene—and nothing works up an appetite like hours spent walking the show floor at the Mart or waiting in that infamous elevator line. For your finer cravings after show hours, here are a sampling of the city’s top dining destinations, many of them just as pleasing to the designer’s eye as they are to our taste buds. Reservations (often) recommended.
