Place for lunch after Chicago architecture cruise
 
We are going on the cruise next Saturday at 11:00. Can anyone recommend a good place for lunch nearby that isn't real pricey? Any food is okay except Chinese.

Thanks.

You can walk to the John Hancock building after your tour and take the side doors up to the 95th floor for lunch at the Signature Room. The views are to die for (ask for a window seat) and the lunch is not real pricey. They do offer a buffet if your interested for $18.00 a person on Saturdays. I would make reservations. http://www.signatureroom.com/Cuisine/lunch.cfm?PID=46

Maybe try the Gage.

Dollar amount you're willing to spend would be helpful.

Giordano's Pizza, at 730 N. Rush. Chicago pizza, what can I say? The pizza places tend to be less crowded at lunchtime.

Bin 36, 339 (333?) N. Dearborn St., is a restaurant and wine bar that has good cheese plates.

Heaven on Seven, address is 600 N. Michigan, but entrance to restaurant is at Rush and Ontario. Quite good cajun food, and perfect for lunch

Or for ethnic, Star of Siam, 11 E. Illinois, good thai food.

Gino's East -- great Chicago-style pizza.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into your recommendations and give the information to our group.

I doubt that anyone in the group wants to spend more than $15-$20 for lunch. We will also be having dinner in Chicago Saturday evening and lunch on Sunday.

We definitely plan to have pizza in Chicago, just not sure which meal.
Since the cruise ends around 12:30, we thought eating lunch in the area would be a good idea before moving on.

Millenium Park Grill would be in your price range for lunch.

Or there are several casual lunch spots across the street from the park on Michigan Ave. One would be Cafe Bacci,

I know you said no Chinese, but Wow Bao would be a nice alternative.
