2 The Loop
In keeping with their proximity to the towers of power, many of the restaurants
in the Loop and its environs—namely, the emerging South Loop and the trendy
Randolph Street Market District—feature expense-account-style prices. But it's
still possible to dine here for less than the cost of your hotel room.
Note:
Keep
in mind that several of the best downtown spots are closed on Sunday.
