1. HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN EMERGENCY
Tornado, earthquake, flood, wildfire – an emergency, natural or man-made, can happen anytime. No one wants to think it could happen to them, but if it does, the emergency will probably be less scary if you’ve taken some time to prepare.

Restaurant: The Cafe
Location: 233 E. Chicago Ave.

Hidden on the second floor of the massive American Dental Association building just off the Mag Mile, this cafeteria-style eatery isn’t going to attract tourists and residents with the kind of income it takes to live and shop in this corner of Streeterville. The Cafe is designed to feed working stiffs who have just enough time to pull up an unpadded, formed-plastic chair for a quick bite to eat.
Salad Bar Comes With Meal? As with any cafeteria, the salad bar is a la carte and is priced by the ounce. In addition to its small soup and salad bar, The Cafe has pre-made pizza slices, sandwiches, and hot food from the griddle. I had a decent-sized salad and satisfying bowl of soup for a total tariff of $6.30.
