I agree, but its one of those places that you have to go to if you are from out of town. Its like the stupid bean and the observation decks.

hahaha I have a huge list of things to see... The majority of the places are restaurants..

Thanks for everything guys! I really appreciate it. Let me know if you guys have any meets or anything going on this weekend.

Anyone ever try Potbelly's? I see a lot of them here. Any suggestions on what to order?

CubanJJ09 · 07-16-2010, 04:25 AM

Pot bellys is good I always get the turkey. Delicious.

Ricer X · 07-16-2010, 06:07 AM

I usually get the Italian thingy on wheat....but if your downtown, find the nearest Billygoat and get a burger instead. Please.

mkPOTO · 07-16-2010, 09:13 AM

I get either the wreck or the chicken salad, so good

mkPOTO · 07-16-2010, 09:14 AM

Billygoat's Tavern (from Saturday Night Live fame) on Wacker might be a good stop too. There are others, but that one is the original hole. Johnnie Walker's for breakfast downtown is a good idea too.

Where exactly is this Johnnie's place? I cant seem to find it online.

Depending on your time/car rental situation, Johnnies may not be real convenient. There is an Al's Beef dowtown:
