"Vu is a rooftop bar on the 22nd floor of a building near the McCormick Place convention center. And since it has both firepits and retractable windows, it’s good for the occasional 53-degree Chicago summer day. There’s a long menu of small plates, with dishes like popcorn shrimp, chicken thighs, and salmon succotash. It’s all fine, but our favorite activity here is to drink and be glad we’re not going to the Morningstar Investment Conference this year." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
