There on a business trip for a couple days. Staying on Mich across from Millenium Park.

Next couple of days, so not on weekend.

Don't know whether lunch or dinner

Kinmont - Rivernorth, steak ansd seafood, not as fancy as other steakhouses

Packing House - West Loop try it, you'll like it

Drinks before you dine SABLE....only BEFORE, as after 10 PM on weekends, this place is a 30 min wait for a drink, as this is your old time crafted cocktail lounge.

Actually you can eat here as well, and it is high end bar food (Spice suage flat breads etc)....but the Drinks are impressive.

At least one of the nights has to be a steak restaurant. As a tourist, send him to the tourist spots like Gibson's or Chicago Cut. Since it is business, he might be able to bring a 40+ year old pro back to his room with him for dessert.

The other night I'd send him to one of those restaurants where he chef thinks he's a tortured artist.

Drinks on one the rooftop bars that have been popping up. I really enjoyed the one at Trump but I'd stick to one drink and get out as it is outrageously expensive
