OH HELL YEAH! BUUUTTTTT...Portillo's in downtown chicago is kinda a ways from the center.

LUKE's in downtown is about the same as Portillo's and closer if you wanna run there.

What?! Hey, I'm a chicagoian...I know this stuff!

Pete or any native Chicagoan...I want to have some original authentic Chicago food while I'm there.

What would be the price of a cab? Is it cheaper than a shuttle?

According to C2E2's website it's considerably more expensive. Even splitting it with one other person wouldn't bring the cost down enough to make it worthwhile.[/quote]

Unless its a train, walking, or the El, there is nothing that's economical to travel in Chicago. Cabs and shuttles know you need them so they charge stupid amounts of money. :/

B-b-b-but....Chocolate cake shakes!?

The benefit to cabs is that they're far less likely to burn up on re-entry.



















Too soon?

Yes, but the chances of the driver being a suicide bomber are exponentially higher.

Fuck that. PORTILLOS is the OLYMPICS of my Chicago food binges.

Portillos is a great cross section of stuff. We'll get pizza from somewhere, too.

Uno or Due has the best deep dish pizzas.

THANK YOU. I'm tired of people talking shit every time I bring up Pizzeria Uno's because they think of the shitty chain restaurants when they hear it (Jason, I'm looking in your direction). You HAVE to go to the original ones downtown.

I also love Heaven on Seven.

I want a Geno's Sausage Disc.

Also in the heart of downtown Chicago, took Amy there. Really nice place, better then the places in the burbs.

Oh. I thought Geno's sausage meant something else.

5th thing down on the menu.

I'm going to have to give official Chicago deep dish a try. I'm a New Yorker, so I like the big, floppy slices you can fold up. It'll be interesting to see how real deep dish holds up to that.

ooppss...I was talking about giordano's.

People talk shit about it, but yet, people go there every night. Just a few blocks away from McCormick so its no biggie for me.

I definitely prefer New York style pizza over Chicago.

So, there are a few people who are definitely down to hang out during the day on Monday? I'll be sure to book a later flight.

Oh shit, Rice Boy. I wonder if he will be sketching.

Shortpacked FTW!

All right, I am all booked up for my flight to Chicago. Arriving Thursday the 15th at 2:45 PM and departing Monday the 19th at 4:50 PM. Woo!

Guess I better purchase my ticket for C2E2 now.

Being a fellow NYer this is something I'm looking forward to trying. Although I have had one at Uno's here in NY. Some on here like Ska and MDG say its just as good.

Sounds like you were more certain than me! I may regret this when I lose my job in a month, but I couldn't get Grandpa George's sage advice out of my head, "There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket, there's only five of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?"
