Where to eat

Our prom venue is just north of Fulton Market, the center of hot restaurants in Chicago. If you want to get the full prom experience and go out for fancy dinner before the party, I especially recommend Roister, avec, and anything backed by Stephanie Izard.

Beyond prom dinner, here are some of my personal favorite restaurants, bakeries, and bars around town:

• Del Seoul
• The Chicago Diner
• Evette’s
• Daisies
• Bonci
• Middlebrow
• Floriole
• Nobody’s Darling
• Sleeping Village
• King of Cups
• The Drifter
• Violet Hour
• Jeni’s
