Good RF friendly shops in Chicago area?

[f/stopblues]

So far the majority of my RF searching has been via mags, books, and the web. I want to actually get my hands on some of these things though! Kansas City isn't so great in that department but I am going up to Chicago next week. Anyone have any suggestions for a good shop that I can check out a selection of RF's? I'm pretty L-savvy, so that'll be my mode of transport around town.

On a side note, I'm also trying to find a decent restaurant in the downtown/north vicinity. Someone suggested Rosebud on Rush for Italian and Hugo's Frog Bar for seafood. Anything else? 😀

Thanks!

Chris
