SPECIAL ASCRS MEETING PREVIEW SECTION

Chicago Offers an Event-Filled April

Art exhibits, pro sports head the list.

Whoever selected Chicago as the place and early April as the time for the 2008 annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ASCRS) certainly knew what they were doing. In addition to the meeting being held in the new McCormick Place West building from April 4 through 9, attendees will find an abundance of events and activities to fill their leisure hours.

Newly Opened Meeting Facility

For the approximately 20,000 people who are expected to attend the ASCRS meeting, McCormick Place West, which opened last August, offers the most modern facilities in a city that is already world-renowned for its ability to host big meetings and conventions. McCormick Place West has 470,000 square feet of the most up-to-date exhibit space, 250,000 square feet of meeting space, 61 meeting rooms and a 100,000-square-foot ballroom. The ballroom is the size of a football field and one of the largest in the world.

McCormick Place West also boasts a distinctive and beautiful Rooftop Garden, which offers stunning views of the city and is ideal for evening receptions. The "green" roof is part of the larger environmentally sensitive plans for the building, which include high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, reduced water consumption and recycled building materials. The building also houses an impressive collection of 50 commissioned works of art, designed by 30 Chicago and Illinois artists. The collection, curated by a committee led by local artist Paul Klein, showcases the breadth of Chicago artists and educates guests on the region's history.

Some of the building's other unique features include an advanced Internet network, expansive wireless capabilities, a Transportation Center with nine LCD screens updating passengers on bus departure and arrival times, a gourmet food court and the 600-seat Overlook Café on the exhibition floor, which offers a fine-dining experience.

The giant ferris wheel at Navy Pier is the centerpiece of 50 acres of amusements and attractions.

"This building is already hitting a sweet spot in the marketplace," says Tim Roby, CEO of the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau, the agency charged with marketing the facilities. "Our goal is to make Chicago one of the top three global destinations for business and leisure travel."

Though Chicago's meeting facilities rank with the best in the world, almost no hotels are within walking distance of McCormick Place. Meghan Risch of the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau says the best way to get back and forth between the hotel district and McCormick Place is to take the 6-minute shuttle bus ride. The buses run regularly throughout the day and evening hours.

One of the hallmarks of Chicago is the city's wide variety of upscale stores, shops and boutiques.

The Arts, Sports and Shopping

As attractive and comfortable as the meeting facility is, ASCRS attendees will also want to get out and around to experience what Chicago has to offer.

The early April calendar is crammed with major events, including an exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago featuring the work of two classic American artists, Edward Hopper and Winslow Homer.

The Chicago Cultural Center at 78 East Washington Street is one of the most comprehensive free arts showcases in the United States. You can expect to find exciting daily programming covering a wide range of the performing, visual and literary arts.

Sports fans could not pick a better time to be in Chicago, with baseball, basketball and hockey all on the calendar. The Chicago Cubs will be in town for an early-season homestand, hosting the Houston Astros for afternoon games in the "friendly confines" of Wrigley Field on April 4, 5 and 6. The NBA Chicago Bulls will be home at the United Center on Saturday, April 5, for a 7:30 p.m. game against the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Blackhawks pro ice hockey team will play a home game at the United Center on Friday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. against the Nashville Predators.

Chicago has always been known as a great place to shop. Tourism officials recommend that meeting-goers visit Oak Street, an international style center housing many of the world's most exclusive boutiques and salons. Kate Spade, Barney's New York and Prada are only a few of the high-end retailers found in this "Gold Coast" shopping district.

Another "must-visit" area for shoppers are the 900 North Shops at 900 North Michigan Avenue, featuring Bloomingdale's and six levels of upscale retailers, including several restaurants, a full-service salon and spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility.

Westfield North Bridge at 520 North Michigan Avenue is an elegant specialty center anchored by the Midwest's largest Nordstrom department store. Popular retail shops and innovative restaurants are enclosed in a four-level concourse.

If you enjoy just walking through a major and diverse city in the springtime, you can start at Millennium Park at 201 E. Randolph Street. The park features Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture along with the work of many other architects, artists and designers. Or stroll the Boardwalk at Navy Pier, 600 East Grand Avenue, where you can relax and peoplewatch amidst 50 acres of amusements and attractions while enjoying lakefront views.

Meeting Highlights

Back at the meeting site, the opening general session at 10 a.m. on April 5 will feature the annual Binkhorst Lecture, this year delivered by Edward J. Holland, M.D. whose topic will be "Innovations in Corneal Surgery: Beyond Penetrating Keratoplasty." In addition, new inductees to the ASCRS Hall of Fame will be honored at the opening general session. ■

Chicago's Rocking Restaurants

So much fabulous food, so little time…

BY RENÉ LUTHE, SENIOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Once again, Ophthalmology Management goes straight to the locals for the skinny on good dining in Chicago. Those in town for the 2008 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons symposium may want to try the following establishments, recommended by Chicago residents Mildred M.G. Olivier, M.D., in private practice and chief executive officer of the Midwest Glaucoma Center and associate clinical professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Olympia Fields Osteopathic Medical Center and Cook County Hospital, and Randy J. Epstein, M.D., CEO of Chicago Cornea Consultants and professor of ophthalmology at Rush University. Remember, with a convention in town, reservations are your best bet.

Dr. Olivier Suggests
Bin 36
339 N. Dearborn St. at Marina City
Phone: (312) 755-9463 • Web: www.bin36.com
Service: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Bin 36's motto is "Drink wine. Live well. Have fun." Toward that end, the restaurant offers "contemporary American cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and wine pairing." Asserting that "wine does not have to be complicated," Bin 36 offers more than 50 wines by the glass appropriate for enjoying with a casual snack or fine dining. There's also a 50-selection cheese menu. "The wine list is fabulous," Dr. Olivier says. "And the food is different — it's the kind of place that might have rabbit on the menu."

Carson's Ribs
612 N. Wells St.
Phone: (312) 280-9200 • Web: www.ribs.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

For many, visiting Chicago without eating ribs seems inconceivable; for those people, there's Carson's. The Chicago institution is renowned for its buckets of succulent baby-back ribs, potatoes au gratin and cole slaw. In July 2005, the Food Network featured Carson's in its search for "the best BBQ from New England to Hawaii."

Gino's East of Chicago
633 N. Wells St.
Phone: (312) 943-1124 • Web: www.ginoseast.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

Because Chicago is known for its deep-dish pizza, Dr. Olivier had to suggest Gino's. She describes it as a tomato-based pizza; it also offers a cornmeal-infused crust. Although Gino's dining room seats 500, the Web site warns that wait lines still form. Lucky for tourists that the restaurant also delivers.

Sepia
123 N. Jefferson St.
Phone: (312) 441-1920 • Web: www.sepiachicago.com
Service: Brunch (Sunday only), lunch and dinner

The restaurant characterizes its food as seasonal, "melding rustic sensibility with contemporary flair." The menu features ingredients from local farmers who use sustainable practices; it includes entrees such as elk chop with roasted root vegetables and sturgeon with watercress, carrots and clementine olive oil. Dr. Olivier reports that Sepia is also a happening social scene. "The mayor goes there; he did some Obama fundraisers there," she says. "It's a different kind of food. They do a Sunday brunch, but the eggs are prepared maybe with goat cheese or feta cheese."

Shanghai Terrace at the Peninsula Hotel
108 E. Superior St.
Phone: (312) 337-2888
Web: www.chicago.peninsula.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

The Shanghainese and Cantonese dishes offered include Kobe beef roll and crispy Mongolian eel. The restaurant is decorated in a 1930s supper-club style. "It's a fabulous, fabulous Chinese restaurant," Dr. Olivier says. "I took some people from the Academy there, and they still rave about it!"

The Signature Room at the 95th
875 N. Michigan Ave.
Phone: (312) 787-9596 • Web: www.signatureroom.com
Service: Brunch (Sunday), lunch and dinner

The Signature Room offers a spectacular view of the city.

Located atop the John Hancock Building, the Signature offers "contemporary American fare" in an Art Deco-style dining room. There's also live jazz on the weekends. According to Dr. Olivier, not only is the food good, "It's a fabulous place to go for drinks. You get a great view of the city."

Tru
676 N. St. Clair St.
Phone: (312) 202-0001 • Web: www.trurestaurant.com
Service: Dinner and dessert

Tru features a "theater style" kitchen and a 1,700-bottle wine list. There is a three-course prix fixe menu, as well as "Chef Tramonto's Market Collection" — nine courses inspired by that day's market offerings. "It's French," Dr. Olivier explains. "Portions are rather small, but it's good food, very well prepared and presented."

According to Dr. Epstein

Dr. Epstein wrote his recommendations with Robert Cutler, former concierge at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago and a member of Les Clefs d'Or U.S.A., the international association of professional hotel concierges.

Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse
1028 N. Rush St.
Phone: (312) 266-8999
Web: www.gibsonssteakhouse.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

The most popular steakhouse in Chicago — you never know who you are going to see in the dining room or their packed piano bar. Every night at Gibson's is like dining with the Who's Who of Chicago. Politicians, movie stars, sports stars and locals co-mingle in this ever- so-popular Rush Street destination. The service is always top-notch; the dining room is usually noisy — request a table in their glass-enclosed patio if you want to talk. Gibson's cuisine is seemingly simple and yet so good. The popular piano bar (usually standing room only) serves food nightly until 1:00 a.m. The spicy lobster cocktail is a favorite. Having that alongside Gibson's amazing breadbasket is a meal in itself.

Desserts reign supreme at Gibson's, if you have room after the incredible steak. A single dessert can easily feed 4-6 people and most folks can't seem to finish one. We highly recommend the Macadamia Nut Pie, a colossal slice of decadence that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Catch 35
35 W. Wacker Dr. (Between State & Dearborn Streets, on the main floor of the Leo Burnett Building)
Phone: (312) 346-3500 • Web: www.catch35.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

This edge-of-the-Loop seafood eatery serves "seafood with an Asian flare" and is always packed. Favorite dishes are the pan-seared Chilean sea bass, blackened swordfish and, when in season, the soft shell crabs. They have live jazz in their large bar/lounge area and it's a great place to stop in just after dinner elsewhere or an evening at after one of the Loop's famous theatres.

Lux Bar
18 East Bellevue Pl. (just east of Rush Street)
Phone: (312) 642-3400 • Web: www.luxbar.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

Another hit restaurant by the Gibson's Steakhouse group, Lux Bar is a 4-story, marble, brass and limestone restaurant and bar. Some of the house favorites are the selection of Gold Coast sliders, the buttermilk-fried chicken and the restaurant's signature made-to-order cocktails. The basement-level kitchens house some of the most state-of-the-art recycling systems available in the industry today. The always packed bar is open until the wee hours and food is available until 12 a.m. The 3rd floor houses a mahogany lined private dining room as well as an additional bar that is open to the public from Wednesday through Saturday night.

Old Town Brasserie
1209 N. Wells St. (just north of Division Street)
Phone: 312-943-3000
Web: www.oldtownbrasserie.com
Service: Dinner

Owner Bob Djahanguiri used to own a couple of night spots in the '80s and '90s (Yvette's and Toulouse) and has come out of retirement to open the Old Town Brasserie with acclaimed chef Roland Liccioni. Favorite dishes include: Filet mignon, roasted Long Island duck and Beef Wellington. Expect a few Asian-influenced dishes, as Chef Liccioni is from Vietnam. Nan Mason, a famous Chicago torch singer, sits in on the weekends in the bar.

RL (Ralph Lauren)
115 E. Chicago Ave. (just west of Michigan Ave.)
Phone: (312) 475-1100
Web: www.rlrestaurant.polo.com
Service: Lunch, dinner

This is one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city. If you are looking for a lovely night out or are celebrating a special occasion, this is the place to go. The dining room only seats 98, so be prepared for the New York Style seating (you can be quite close to the next table). But it's all part of the dining experience at Ralph Lauren's only restaurant anywhere. And now, ever since Oprah declared this one of her favorite restaurants, reservations are a must. This is also one of our favorite places for Sunday brunch, and if you can afford the calories, order the lobster club sandwich — you won't be sorry. For dinner, we recommend their Dover sole.

Don't forget to check out the incredible collection of paintings and photography around the room; each piece was either hand picked by Mr. Lauren or came out of his personal collection.

Sola
3668 N. Lincoln Ave. (Enter on Byron St., just west of Lincoln)
Phone: (773) 327-3868 • Web: www.sola-restaurant.com
Service: Brunch (Saturday, Sunday), lunch and dinner

It can be well worth venturing about 15 minutes north via taxi to the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago to a new favorite, Sola. Chef/owner Carol Wallock, who lives part-time in Hawaii, has brought this crisp, clean, American, Asian and Hawaiian fare to the beginning of the Lincoln Avenue "dining mile." And even though the restaurant is packed almost nightly, you can hear yourself talk due to special acoustical work done inside the restaurant. Some of our favorite menu items are tangy short ribs and the crispy truffle oil French fries. Lincoln Avenue is turning out to be one of the city's best-kept secrets for dining in Chicago. Most of the other great Lincoln Avenue dining begins around the 4500 block of North Lincoln in a wonderful neighborhood known as Lincoln Square. ■

A Night on the Town

Whether it's a major league baseball team's home opener (the White Sox, Apr. 7) the classics (Chicago Symphony Orchestra) or classic rockers (Van Halen), Chicago offers a wealth of entertainment for your night (or afternoon) on the town.

In addition to the sampling of events listed below, Chicago is known around the world for its jazz. The Windy City also maintains its reputation as "the supreme blues town." Bars such as B.L.U.E.S., Kingston Mines, the New Checkerboard Lounge, Buddy Guy's Legends, and Rosa's Lounge play the blues most nights of the week.

Note that complicated variables such as weather, fickle performers, television contracts and economics can wreak havoc schedules, so we recommend you call venues in advance.
