Power Lunch It Up in River North

Wanna kick it old school for the night? Feel like a gangsta? Hit up this less expensive steakhouse for an Al Capone-worthy night on the town

Sex and the City made this place famous, and even though it's still reeling from the hype, the sushi and cocktails are really good.

Although it's sorta lost its edge over the past 6 yrs, especially w the blow up of Hubbard St., Rockit has seriously good grub, including banging' burgers and salads.

Instead of greasy, humongous, Chicago-style pizza, grab a nice crisp light Neopolitan slice w a glass of their $5 wine of the week. Mangia!

Didn't think it was possible to get nachos, sushi, turkey burgers & fish specials all in the same place? Hub is the best hodge podge ever.

Bull & Bear sounds like it's made for the business suits who leave their trading jobs at 3pm for beer. That's why I enjoy B&B when it's quiet at lunch w very decent bar-type food.

Thank u Guiseppe Tentori 4 opening the best fish&oyster house in Chi. Always fresh (& half price after 10) this seafood shack is the bomb.

Meli is my favorite breakfast joint. From pancakes to egg whites, this place has it all. Be annoying and ask for PAM spray instead of butter, agave instead of syrup. They won't say no.
