I will be out in the Chicago area staying at the Fairmount Hotel on 6/21 - 6/25. I am trying to plan out an event for a group of 20 to 30 people for Sunday and Tuesday night. One night would be for dinner and the other night out on the town. Any suggestion on what to do would be great. Where is a nice restuarant to eat at in the area?
Group Event
Hmmm - for a group that size you might have to book a private room, although many downtown restaurants will do that. Take a look at www.metromix.com for info on Chicago restaurants. Also do a search here on rehearsal dinner venues, as they are the restaurants that have the private rooms. Not all of the private rooms are huge. I will have to come back to you with the ones I have been to as the names are escaping me at the moment.
As far as how to spend a night on the town - a fun evening might be a stroll along Navy Pier, game of mini golf, going up on the ferris wheel and having a beer at one of the bars. There are dinner cruises you could take, which definitely seat more than 30, or you could just take one of the boat cruises up the river, which depart from the Wrigley Building.
If you like to sound of any restaurants on metromix, come back here to find out what people think.

I don%26#39;t want to sound like a broken record, but in addition to referrals here, check with the concierge desk at the Fairmont. They will know what restaurants have the capabitlites to handle large parties on such short notice(during a major convention) and otther suggestions as well.
There have been a bunch of posts like this.
