My S.O. and I are heading to Chicago for a long weekend, and I'm looking for a special date night restaurant. We're heading to Naha with the family on one night. Any suggestions? Other great, non-touristy things we should do while there? We've both lived in Chicago but it's been awhile.

Foie gras! It's been legalized as of yesterday.

I know fois gras is cruel. But I love it.

just visited a bar called Emmitt's - corner of Halted and Milwaukee. http://www.emmits.com

not romantic, but a great neighborhood bar for the perfect end of a perfect fun date, i'd say.
