Near Palmer House

Six adults staying at the Palmer House this weekend. Any deep dish pizza or other signature Chicago cuisine within walking distance? No hot dogs. We'll be eating plenty of those at Wrigley Field. Thanks in advance.

I like Miller's Pub on Wabash. Nothing in the way of deep dish etc. but a solid, old school Chicago restaurant with a nice atmosphere and decent fare. They've been around 75 years.
(I like the bar too.)

You can order food until 1 or 2 in the morning and/or drink until 4 am if you are so inclined.

Yup, Pizano's is THE place for deep-dish near the Palmer House. (And even us longest of long-time Chicago residents can sympathize with occasionally saying Wacker when we mean Wabash, and vice versa!) Phone ahead with your pizza order to avoid waiting 30-45 minutes while seated for the pizza to bake. www.pizanoschicago.com

Here's one more place nearby for "signature Chicago cuisine". Garrett's Popcorn is a local specialty, for their freshly-made caramel popcorn (with or without cashews or pecans), cheese popcorn, or a mixture of the two. The Palmer House Hilton is right between the location at Madison and State (a block north of the hotel) and the one at Jackson and State (a block south of the hotel). www.garrettpopcorn.com

You are super close to Pizano's on Madison and Wacker.

Good gracious - yes. I can't believe I blanked on that. I work on Wabash. D'ER!
