Seven on State

June 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment

A couple of my coworkers love to go to Macy’s food court, Seven on State, for lunch. This is a high-end food court with offerrings from Takashi Yagihashi, Marcus Samuelsson, and Rick Bayless. My coworkers particularly like Chef Yagihashi’s spot, Noodles by Takashi.

There’s another part of this food court where they just serve soups and sandwiches and salads. Usually I got to the salad spot. They do a pretty good job with interestingness and fresh ingredients. I wish the line for Frontera Fresco wasn’t so long. I’d hit that every time! Ah well. I try to only go out for lunch one time per week or less. This is a good change of pace now and then.

One night Dallas and I were shopping on State Street and were really hungry so we went to Atwood Cafe. I’d always seen this place, it’s in the beautiful Burnham Hotel. You know.. the food was ok, but I thought it was overpriced. This truffled macaroni and cheese was pretty good, though.

Saw this on State Street back in May. I think I’ve since seen one on North Ave. Beach, but haven’t noticed many others.

ABC 7 moved it’s studio to State Street a couple years ago and every time I walk by I think this big marquee thing looks so out of place. Do you?

Carson Pirie Scott on State Street is closing. It’s a sad occassion, but if you’re in the area, you should stop by. I got a new Nine West bag and new Michelle K shoes, both for 40% off. Dallas got a couple dress shirts, a stocking cap, and some socks. Exciting, I know.
