"If you’re willing to walk about six blocks west, you’ll find yourself at another local icon, a classic Chicago steakhouse. Expect fantastic steaks, traditional sides, and great service, all right in the middle of the unfortunately named “Viagra Triangle.” But you won’t just be eating with high-rolling Gold Coasters, Gibson’s is usually full of tourists and Chicagoans celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, too. The massive desserts are no joke—the signature carrot cake literally weighs about six pounds. So plan on clearing out that mini fridge if you want to take it back to the hotel." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
