There is an excellent restaurant on the 95th floor of the John Hancock
building with spectacular views of the lake and city. Coincidentally the
restaurant is called the 95th.
For lunch they offer a modest buffet for about $20. When you combine
the very elegant room, the nice upscale buffet and the incredible
scenery I think it makes for a great dining location. They also have a
Sunday Brunch.
Other ideas include:
Back stage tours of the broadway venues in town, maybe including a show.
Call Broadway in Chicago. Architectural boat tours (some include dining)
The Bahai Temple and gardens in Wilmette. Accessible by the L and a
spectacular structure and beautiful gardens with a wonderful chinese
restaurant near the L stop
