Chicago has 100s of restaurants to choose from. www.chicagoreader.com has an excellent dining search tool. You can read reviews and search by cuisine, area, budget etc. Use River North as your search area.

Chicago does not have any outlet malls. However, there are discount shops downtown. They include: Filenes Basement, H%26amp;M, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Nordstrom Rack. The concierge at your hotel will give you directions for shopping. In addition, due to the weak economy here, most retail shops have ongoing sales.

The restaurant at Trump Tower is very good. And there are outlet malls maybe an hour away from Chicago but you would need to rent a car. I would say Filene%26#39;s basement is the best discount place but, really, it depends on what you are looking to buy and your taste.

There is a great outlet mall in Aurora, Illinois, but it is about a 40 minute drive west of downtown Chicago. I have no idea if there are buses that go there.
