Shallots would def be worth the drive.

Looks like there's a shul with a mechitza literally next door to the other Hyatt Centric (Loop - I booked Mag Mile). So maybe I'll switch. I had originally booked Mag mile just because it looked slightly closer to Wrigley, Milts, and the comedy show I knew I was doing (Second City). I guess if I can confirm that this minyan actually exists, I will try to rebook.

There's also a Chabad but they only have Shacharis Mon/Thurs.

Evita is a specific style. Milts is good enough, that it's not worth the schlep to Evita unless you specifically want to try it/change it up. Milt's is terrific. @henche can eat dirt.

Just go Kens

Ken's just looks like a run of the mill casual burger place. Is it significantly above average?

Why, is that your criteria?

[shaulyaakov]

Yes, prefer things that are good if I'm leaving downtown.

I had thought Evita was worth it, I've now been informed that I'd be better off at shallots. I also have limited meals.

Milt's burger beats a Ken's burger unless you are level 9 Chicago nostalgic.

So it's either milt's plus shallots or milt's x2? I would need to pay for a rt Uber from downtown for shallots.

Shallots is well worth the Uber.

Expensive even by Manhattan standards...

Any suggestions for a unique hotel in Chicago -pref Marriott, although others are fine?
(To give you an idea of what I'm looking for: I just stayed at Belamere suites(OH) and in Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. While each is diff, I absolutely loved them both and highly recommend:) )
TIA

Eh

I think Milts burger is subject to the nostalgia of 4-5 years ago.

I haven't been to Milt's in years. Has it gone downhill?

Wouldn't say downhill, but not always as consistent as it once was. Still very much worth a stop in.

How are the ribs?

I was never really a fan of their steaks and ribs, personally. Their starters and sandwiches have always been great.

Will keep in mind, but going to a BBQ place and not getting ribs seems illegal.
