Chi-Town NTers: Best Steak House and Best Hotel out of these options?

[scarface2k1]

Whats up NT?

I am going back to Chi-Town for Labor Day this year and I am pumped. I love Chicago and have been wanting to go back since I went for the first time last year.

I was wondering what is the best steakhouse in the city since it is well known for its Steaks and I didn't get a chance to do it last time. I already have an idea of what I want to do, pretty much all the stuff I didn't get a chance to do last year, but if you have any bar/restauarant/neighborhoods to check out (excluding South Side

) that would be appreciated to.

I have narrowed it down to 4 hotels, and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on the following: The Dana, Allerton, Affinia and the Talbott.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Tango Sur for less expensive Argentinian steak. Joe's Seafood if you're cool with putting serious dough down.

For steaks, read these:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/359377
http://www.chicagomag.com...st/20-Best-Steak-Houses/

This will give you more info about food/bars in the city:

For Happy Hour/good deals of the day:

And always grab a Red-Eye, it's a free newspaper in Chicago and you can find out information on concerts, food, bar, events, etc.

You should go to the Regional Forums too.

Hope this helps, have a great time!

Don't know much about those hotels, so can't help you with that. But as far as steaks go, you've got to go to Gibsons. It is probably the best here, but pricey. A lot of celebrities go there as well, last time I was there I met Craig Robinson (the office). He was a real cool dude.
