Frommer's Chicago with Kids
Chapter One
Family-Friendly Dining
Chicago has come into its own as a
major dining destination, and that's
not limited to the chic, see-and-be-seen
spots. Plenty of options await
families, too. In addition to those stylish
restaurants, you'll find an amazing
array of steakhouses, family-style Italian
restaurants, and just about every
kind of ethnic cuisine you could possibly
crave. You'll be surprised at the
number and range of restaurants that
welcome kids in Chicago. Even restaurants
that don't offer a specialized kids'
menu often will provide half-size portions
for children. Whether you're
looking for a restaurant for your family's
big night out or simply a no-frills
spot to dig in, in this chapter you'll
find places the locals go to when they
want to eat well.
Chicagoans have a passion for two
foods your kids are probably passionate
about, too: hot dogs and pizza.
Don't run out to buy a case of antacids
just yet-options for adult stomachs
also exist. And although I've covered
the obvious family-friendly choices
like Rainforest Cafe and Ed Debevic's,
in this chapter I've tried to focus more
on unique dining ideas that are
Chicago's own.
