Drinks at Union Station!
I'll be arriving at Union Station around 4:30 or 5 that Sunday, actually!
Can I start herding people for dinner plans for next Wednesday?
I'll be in Chicago and conveniently downtown, ready for drinking! I, uh, don't really have any recommendations for where to go because I don't go for drinks or dinner after work very often.

Yes, yes, yes!!! Drinks at US!!!
That's perfect! There's a bar there I always hang at when I'm waiting for a train. They'll put your beer in a to-go cup when you have to leave.
It is now my favorite bar EVAH.
well, dang. Antico Forno only had reservations open at 5pm or 9pm (for a party of 10).
I hope it's OK, I made reservations instead at Joe Tecce's for 7:30pm.
It should be alright. Certainly they have the space for us. I'm suprised Antico Forno was that booked up on Monday, but ce la vi.
I'll be finding out my bookstore schedule for next week tonight, so I can see when/if I'll be available to meet everyone in town!

Yeah, I'm a little bummed. AF's reservations page does mention a week's advance notice on reservations for parties of 8 or more, but I thought that might just apply to the online reservation system policy.
I may need to go check that place out during restaurant week.

Little secret - they are open for lunch on Saturday's. That's one of the times I've eaten there. I think it's mostly the dinner menu (if not THE dinner menu), but the portions are smaller and cheaper (if I remember correctly).
Maybe I take myself out to lunch there tomorrow!
