My wiki account is messed up, so I can't add this, but here's some info to work with:
Chicago Q
1160 N Dearborn St
Chicago, IL 60610
Here's a link<https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=The+Crowne+Plaza+Chicago+Metro+Hotel,+733+West+Madison+Street,+Chicago,+IL+60661&daddr=1160+N+Dearborn+St,+Chicago,+IL+60610&hl=en&ll=41.892886,-87.637424&spn=0.03693,0.071154&sll=41.892569,-87.638233&sspn=0.03693,0.071154&geocode=FQANfwIdWp3G-ilNuVWWxCwOiDFIBc_3daO8wA;Fe9kfwId_N7G-im1vQe6T9MPiDHmgRubhUFUBQ&oq=1160+N+Dearborn+St,+Chicago,+IL+60610&dirflg=r&ttype=now&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=def&mra=ltm&t=m&z=14&start=0> for Google Maps which shows transit directions from the hotel.[1] You can plug in desired departure or arrival times. Google Maps is pretty good for this sort of thing, though bus times downtown vary depending on traffic.

My friend: My cousin manages a restaurant in Chicago. You should go there
and tell him I sent you.
Me: *reads menu* *sees things like "artisanal barbecue" and "more than 40
kinds of bourbon"* ( http://chicagoqrestaurant.com/ )
Reservation's at 7 on Wednesday for a party of 8. Add yourself:

It'd be great if someone who knew something about Chicago public transit
(i.e. not me) edited the wiki to include what time we should meet at the
hotel, too.
