Right near the show, there is nothing but hotels and mostly overpriced dining options.
There's a Mexican place within walking distance. If you like Mexican food, you should appreciate this joint. I still remember Bill Huggins with a margarita the size of his head (and have a photo somewhere of the moment). Bill preferred cubed ice over crushed in case anybody was wondering. Might be called Maria's?
There's some kind of restaurant not too far away on the same street as the convention center. It's a standalone building on a corner. Food extremely bland. Wish I could recall the name of it, but it's not something trendy nor is it a chain (as is seemingly everything else nearby). Just looks like a low-end American eatery. Avoid.
Apparently, there's a Fogo in Rosemont now. Expensive, but has always been worth it anytime I've gone to one. Just stay away from the extremely overpriced booze.
