You have to call them...I realized that they don't have it on their website. I spoke with a guy named Bernin at 773.276.1099. I probably should keep this on the DL, because I always put my folks who visit in them, and I figure if they knew how underpriced they were for what they offer, they'll raise their prices. They're also negotiable, which is strange. Last time I told them I'd pay 85% of what he just quoted me, and he was fine with that.

It says some of their units are furnished

My best bet is that they are just trying to make a little income on the furnished units that sit empty between tenants and not trying to run a legit business.

RE: Pingpong - every restaurant has its bad nights. Its nothing special but Penny's is quick crap, and not really comparable (I eat Penny's, but I wouldn't go on a date there). If you want CHEAP eats with free BYOB and asian food, I think Joy's is the way to go. The food is better than Pennies and dirt cheap. You won't get blown away, but its pretty good.

Hot Doug's is good, depends on when you are looking to eat though! Last time I was there I had kangaroo as the meat and the ever amazing duckfat fries!

^thats 500 each including travel. but i guess and? either way, ive balled over the summer. and i work during school.

also, thanks to everyone. great recs. i think for sure im gonna check out hot dougs. and pizzeria via stato, so lunch is picked out, though a cemita may win out.

dinner is up in the air, though fri night we will be going for pequods and then ice skating (yeah i know its what she wants). sat and sunday is still up in the air.

costa rican food sounds awesome since we are planning to go there this summer . any other recs are appreciated. while italian is preferred (for her), anything is good (cuz shes a really picky eater )

as for the hotels, i think ive got that covered.

right now im looking for what to do. shes really into going to the aquarium. and shit like that.

It'd be a shame to come here and not go to the art institute.

Pequod's is awesome. You won't be disappointed. As others have mentioned, the Art Institute is incredible, but plan on spending a lot of time there because it's huge. If you want to try small plates, Quartino on State St. and Twist on Sheffield Ave. near Wrigley Field are very good.
