Only one night of "freedom" in Chicago

My husband and I are spending a week in Chicago at a meeting. We will only have the Saturday night to do something we want to do. Staying at one of the big hotels---don't even know which--near North Michigan Ave. I've left this too long to make a reservation at a super trendy place, but is there something you can suggest.

Do you like theater? Or would you be interested in going to a jazz club? How about a romantic dinner at a special restaurant? Let us know some of your interests so suggestions can be made.

Just a quiet dinner for two, good wine, maybe prime rib. Are there still any Blackhawk connected restaurants? Used to love the spinning salad.

Prime rib-go to Lawry's on Ontario. Both you and the hubby have to want to eat prime rib though as that's pretty much all they serve. And they have a spinning salad

Ah, the spinning salad bowl at the Blackhawk. The waiter would roll out a cart of crisp salad ingredients and assemble them at tableside with great flair while the spinning bowl distributed the signature dressing to perfection.

Neither of us will ever turn down prime rib---especially in Chicago! Thanks, all.
