My son and I will be riding the Capitol Limited west to Chicago out of Cleveland in a few weeks. I was wondering if breakfast is served in the dining car before the train reaches Chicago.
We will be riding the Lateshore Limited back home a few days later. I know that there is no dinner served because of the late (10PM) departure but was wondering if the Lounge car snack bar is open upon departure out of Chicago.
Here's a question that is sort-of off topic but I suspect that many here are familiar with the Chicago area.
Back in 1988 my wife and I honeymooned in Chicago via Amtrak. We stayed downtown in a hotel called the Allerton.
I see that The Allerton Hotel has undergone a major re-do but back in `88 it was a bit dumpy. Right around the corner from (or behind) the Allerton there was this pizza resturant. I remember the atmosphere was dark and there was writing all over the walls and ceiling of this place. It was the best pizza we have ever had. Is this place still there and if so what is it called?
