"There aren’t a lot of upscale spots near McCormick Place to grab a drink. Vu is a nice rooftop bar on the 22nd floor of a nearby building, and since it has both firepits and retractable windows, it works no matter what season the Society of Neuroscience decides to have its annual conference. There’s a long menu of small plates and entrees like chicken fried mushrooms, green curry mussels, and sopressata flatbread." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
