There are no breakfast places at all in the downtown area (in fact only one lunch place).

The only place I know of for sure that is open early is Dunkin' Donuts (milchig, not cholov yisroel, but with pareve bagels) on Devon near Kedzie (minimum half an hour cab ride, maybe more). Maybe Bagel Country opens by 10 (their phone number is 847-673-3030), but they're in Skokie, even further by cab.

There is someone who has been advertising that he'll deliver food from a restaurant any place, but I don't have the information (though they can obviously only deliver from someplace that's open then).

Thanks for the response, how far is skokie from the navy pier? & is there any night life in downtown or anywhere not far?

Skokie is a minimum of a 35 minute cab ride, probably significantly more. I'm not into night life, sorry, but certainly nothing Jewish.

I'm incredibly familiar with the River North and Streeterville areas.

1) there is a Trader Joe's on Ontario and Rush (I think) they open at 9 am. You can pick up kosher bagels, lox, cholov stam cream cheese (occasionally the cholov yisroel) they ALWAYS have the tofutti. They also have pareve milks, cereal, fresh fruits/veggies.

2) What do you want for nightlife? Bars? Late night bowling? Late night movie theater? ice cream place? PM me ur response in case I don't check imamother...

3) you are right on the mag mile. there's carriage rides up and down and buckingham fountain at night.
