Just found out I am going to Chicago in October for Work, and my company's office is in the West Loop. According to google Bebe's has closed permanently - can anyone confirm?

Are there any other West Loop adjacent options? (I probably won't have a car to go to northern suburbs).

Bebes is closed. Not much that far south anymore, but Milt's is the closest by a long shot. Several places will deliver, but it'll cost you.

Thinking of a quick trip with DW to Chicago (first time).
1. What’s the best Hyatt there (up to cat 4)?
2. Where should we go eat that’s not too far (or on the way from ORD)?
