It's not the cheapest place, but not incredibly expensive...

Grand Lux Cafe.

It's above Ann Taylor on Michigan Ave. and Ohio I believe.

I know Cody wants to see the U-boat, but the commute between the Shedd and the MoS&I is going to eat so much time in the afternoon. I prefer the Art Institute/Shedd combo, but I'm not certain if the renovations at the Art Institute are done yet. They currently have the "B-list" paintings on display while all the others are being restored (and the Modern Art wing is being built). But I fully endorse half-day museums. I'm a member of the Shedd and Matt's a member of the Field and the Brookfield Zoo... we go for half-day visits all the time. Great times.

Wear your walking shoes! Comfort before fashion!

Alloriana is right, Science and Industry is way on the South Side--like 63rd or 65th or something iirc. Shedd is basically just east of the loop, so you'll spend a good half hour to an hour on the CTA or in a cab; especially with Cermak/Chinatown closed on the Red Line (A bus crashed into it and ransacked it). Art Institute is still under construction, but it's not bad for first time visitors, we've got a lot of good stuff up right now. I was just there last week ( ... )
