St. Patrick's Day in the Artist's Café

About this place:

Located at the base of the historic Fine Arts Building, this classic diner has been a popular lunch spot for theater and museum employees and patrons since 1961, and more recently students at the Columbia College art school nearby. Vintage, satisfying lunch counter fare (think burgers, tuna melts and malts — nothing gourmet, but nothing overpriced either) with efficient, if not exactly warm service. The atmosphere is worth the price of admission, but the homemade chips and the authentic malts are a bonus.

    Within walking distance of anything and everything, right on Michigan Avenue. If you dine outside you have a great view of Grant Park, one of the many in Chicago. You are walking distance from the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College and Millennium Park. Are great place to stop and eat for a quick lunch.
