One inexpensive hotel option with consistently excellent service is the Hotel Allegro:
http://www.allegrochicago.com/
Should be an easy cab ride to the restaurant - and yes, you should have no problem finding a cab in that area. Another option more north is the Hilton Garden hotel - much quieter than the Hilton Towers, and cheaper with a complimentary breakfast - to all guests.
Just made reservations yesterday for June 11th. Simply cannot wait!

ChefG,
What are your expectations of your cooks at Alinea? What will be the major differences between your expectations from Trio to Alinea? What types of skills do your cooks have that you are particularly looking for?
Thanks,
JW

Craigslist Chicago has a job listing for FOH at Alinea (Lincoln Park). Like backwaiters and bussers and shit.
Training starts in late April, job starts in May.
If you get the job, bring me a doggie bag. And one of Chef Achatz's sweaty socks.

I'm assuming that address given for Alinea is correct.
I have reservations for the 12th of May and I cannot wait.

I'll second Bicycle Lee's well-wishing. Good luck to all involved!
Is anyone going tonight or this week? We're not going until the 27th so I'll need to live vicariously through others until then.
Those who go first must promise full reports!
Again, good luck to Chef Achatz and team.

Server (a friend of mine): Would you like some white truffle shaved over your main course?
Woman at table : Oh, no thank you. I'm allergic to shellfish.
