Hi. There has been a slight time change. Everybody should meet in the
lobby by the 1st floor elevators at 7:00pm Saturday night, and we will
walk to Miller's Pub for a 7:30 dinner. 1st floor is the same floor that
the main hotel reception desk is on (what an old-fashioned hotel!).
MANY THANKS to Rachel Reynolds for arranging this...her note with info is
attached below:
We'll get a portion of the upstairs dining room with its own bar (!).
There will be a group of tables for us. They have 35 people listed under a
reservation in your name and my name, for 7:30 Saturday night. The address
is 134 S. Wabash, phone (312) 645-5377. Unfortunately, they'll only do a
single check when the party is as large as this one, so we'll have to duke
it out somehow.
Note that it's a simple 5 block walk straight north from the backside of
the Hilton Hotel (the hotel itself is sandwiched between Michigan on the
east side and Wabash on the west side).
About the place: they've got marvelous Greek chicken, steak, soups,
salads, omelettes, spanokopita, braised ribs, etc. The average cost will
be about 8-16 per person without drinks. The menu's large enough that just
about anyone will find something they can eat happily.
The place is at least 30 years old, has lovely high ceilings, done in red
leather and hardwood, with brass fixtures and all that. There's also a
great collection of photographs of the owner with celebrities from all over
the world (my favorite is Joey Heatherton circa 1970 in shimmery purple
body-stocking). It's sort of like a two-bit Club 22.
If people want to head out to the restaurant early and meet us there, they
have a really great bar on the first floor.
