I've made a reservation for us at 7:00 pm on Saturday February 16 at:
Chilpancingo
358 W Ontario
Chicago IL 60610
312-266-9525
This is a Mexican restaurant, but don't expect tacos and enchiladas; they have highly unusual, creative Mexican cuisine. The attire is casual, the food is great and it will be a nice place to relax and enjoy each other's company. You can read a review by the Tribune's food critic
here.

1a. If you are approaching downtown Chicago from the north on the Kennedy Expressway southbound (I-90/94 east), take the Ohio Street Eastbound exit.
1b. If you are approaching downtown Chicago from the south on the Dan Ryan Expressway northbound (I-90/94 west), continue past downtown Chicago (where the Dan Ryan becomes the Kennedy) and take the Ohio Street Eastbound exit.
1c. If you are approaching downtown Chicago from the southwest on the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) northbound, exit onto the Dan Ryan Expressway northbound (I-90/94 west), continue past downtown Chicago (where the Dan Ryan becomes the Kennedy) and take the Ohio Street Eastbound exit.
1d. If you are approaching downtown Chicago from the west on the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) eastbound, exit onto the Kennedy Expressway northbound (I-90/94 west), go one mile, and take the Ohio Street Eastbound exit.
2. As you come down the ramp, stay in the left lane and turn left at the first traffic light onto Orleans Street northbound.
3. After a short block, there is another traffic light. On your left, you will see a highway ramp that is three lanes wide, and to the right of the ramp, is a side street. DO NOT turn onto the highway ramp. Turn onto the side street just to the right of the highway ramp, which is Ontario Street. The restaurant is in this block on the right.
Valet parking is available in front of the restaurant.
Please keep me posted regarding who is coming so that I can make sure the restaurant has an accurate headcount.
