Directly across the street from our hotel was the John Hancock Observatory & Residences building. Just past that is the Water Tower Place shopping mall.

Once we had walked all the way up and down the Magnificent mile, we turned on to a side street and stopped at the Rosebud Steakhouse just past the Drake Hotel, to have lunch.

Then we walked back to our hotel and went into "The Grill on the Alley" restaurant & bar to get a refreshing drink.

Later that night we decided to visit "The Grill", a four star restaurant,  again since it was so conveniently located inside the Westin Hotel.
