Chicago
Morning meetings Bin 36 (339 N. Dearborn St.), a combination market/restaurant in the heart of downtown, serves breakfast starting at 6:30, and it's rarely overcrowded.
Lunch Head north of the river to Cafe Spiaggia (980 N. Michigan Ave., 312-280-2750), an unpretentious Italian cafe overlooking Lake Michigan at the far end of the Magnificent Mile. Afternoon meetings For the royal treatment, visit the Drake Hotel's Palm Court Lounge (140 E. Walton Place), where tea service runs from 1 to 5 p.m. Dinner Bistro 110 (110 E. Pearson St., 312-266-3110) serves authentic but informal French food in a prime location, just across from Chicago's historic Water Tower. Reservations recommended. Evening drinks Gorgeous city views and affordable drinks make the Signature Room, on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Center, a perfect venue to discuss your plans for taking over the world. Getting around Walking downtown is a pleasure when the weather cooperates, but the El will get you almost anywhere, including to both of the city's airports.
