Chisoxfn Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 If your going for fest, you should do the hotel deal. Its a good price and you get everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 yeah, its about $240 bucks for a weekend pass, a room, and it includes a home game ticket... (an excuse to go back) fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 For airfare, I booked soutwest and got out there for like 170 roundtrip. Don't know if they still have the deal going on or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Midway is closest to downtown. Also happens to be the only one southwest flies into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, midway, or ohare? right on As long as you take the train, they are both really easy to get to from the Hyatt. We'll be up at the Atrium bar both nights, and we all know how much you like bars , come up and see us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthraxFan93 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 You have to go to RicoBen's Order a Breaded Steak .. Down the street from Hyatt ALso you can go ice skating at Milliuem Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 You have to go to RicoBen's Order a Breaded Steak .. Down the street from Hyatt ALso you can go ice skating at Milliuem Park <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's Ricobene's, 60 E. Lake Street. Their breaded steaks used to be good but are not as good now IMO, especially at the satellite locations. You cannot go wrong with the beef or sausage sandwich with hot giardiniera though. I am also partial to their pan pizza, you can buy it by the slice. Ricobene's is a good, cheap way to fill up. For the best (IMO) breaded steak near the ballpark ... La Milanese, 32nd and May, only open weekdays. Outstanding. The owner is first generation Sicilian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to that place for the first time last sunday and I gotta agree with you on that. ESPN burger = Artery clogging heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
