There’s an expensive one across the street, but otherwise aren’t many. Hotel Versey Days Inn is probably your best bet.

Thanks spike, yeah the Zachary looks overpriced and too snooty for me. Think I'm just gonna go with the Best Western a little ways away but I'll look into that one too.

Why are you staying up there? You can stay further south where there are better options and then just take the L up there.

Sorry, but I’m confused. How are you getting back to that Best Western at 2 am?

Get a street hot dog for me

go have a stiff drink at jimmy's or Rudy's and post a pic...enjoy

lol we were at Jimmy’s yesterday, not sure if it’s the same one you are talking about. This one was a rooftop bar. We ended up in a basement British pub with a bartender from the Bronx named Melody who definitely wasn’t British but could definitely hold her own in an English pub. I had a scotch egg, Welsh rarebit, and draft old speckled hen

freshen ya drink, gov'na

Oi, pot or a pint?

Probably just a five minute Uber? I’m assuming there will be drivers online in a major city when the bars close…

Don't let Chris bully you about your choices

Thank you for being supportive Jorge

can you imagine chris if we had a travel forum? he'd run roughshod over it.

I’ve been there a few times and seen candyman so trust me, I know how to handle myself

i think at some point my other travel threads got merged into this travel thread and brought with it my irreverent poll

it's fantastic

everyone just wants to stuff their vacation down other people's throats

give space for people to do their own thing, people

it is ok for people to go places and do different things and feel differently about the things they do

I’m not trying to be difficult, but I don’t understand how a 5-minute Uber is fine, but a 15-minute Uber is a deal breaker.

Whatever. The Best Western I’m sure is fine. Enjoy the Music Box. I like that place.

If what I want to do is up in lake shore/wrigleyville, why would I stay down in like the loop area? It’d be one thing if there were no decent hotels in that general area but there are, so…?

you have more options than Lakeview and the Loop. But honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Spike is right, however - Chicago’s gonna eat you alive.
