Babs: When in Schaumburg, IL (about 30 mi. north of Chicago) for a seminar last fall, I found a great Indian restaurant, the Indian Garden. They have two branches listed in Chicago proper, one at 2548 W. Devon Avenue and one at 247 E. Ontario, second floor. I don't know Chicago well enough to know if these are near the convention center or not, but if they're anything like the Schaumburg branch they're well worth a visit. The food's stupendous- even though we only went there for lunch, it was good enough one day to bring us right back the next, and day 2 didn't disappoint. Prices are extremely reasonable too.. Ever since then, we've been kicking around the idea of an overnight trip to Chicago, just to have dinner there (it's about 3 hours from Madison to downtown). Usual disclaimers re affiliation and satisfied-customer status.
