[Great Hall of Rockwall] Field trip dining question

[Cskatlady@aol.com]

I agree that 8:30 is too early, but we can be flexible it the others want  to 
go that early
 
as for dining,  would there be any place reasonable that would be  
"different" from our usual choices?

otherwise picnicking on the train  works too

I'm  working up the details for the A&S field trip on May 13. Right now,  
we're looking at departing my place on the 10:30 am train (12:23 pm  arrival 
in the city) and retuning to Harvard on the 5:30 pm or 6:30 train.  (7:30 or 
8:20 arrival).

While we could take the 8:35 am train and  arrive in Chicago at 10:35, I 
think that might be too early, especially  since most of the people 
interested in the trip need to travel to Harvard  first.

My questions to the folks interested in going are these:
1.  Are we going to eat while in the city?
2. If so, what sort of food are we  interested in?
3. What price range are we looking at?

Since Metra  allows riders to picnic on the train (within reason of 
course--no  grilling!), it would be possible to take sandwiches with us in 
the morning  and pick up dinner to go at one of the "fast-food" type 
establishments in  the transportation center and picnic again on the outbound 
train. This  would probably cost the least and give us the most time to enjoy 
the  museum. Also, we would not have to rush through dinner with one eye on 
the  clock.

However, if the gentles would prefer something more "sit-down"  please let me 
know so I can get a list of places together for  voting.

Yours,
Edda
