Harry Caray's Restaurant

Amid skyscrapers, near Chicago's golden mile, nearly one block away from the river is the famous Harry Caray's restaurant. Well, one of them, because the famous radio commentator has several restaurants, taverns and bars throughout the city, including at the airport. But, perhaps, this is one of the most legendary and well-known. First for its construction because it's a classic building: a three story red brick colonial ... Quite a contrast to the concrete poles that look down and give shade most of the day. This building dates from 1895 and became a restaurant in 1987. A giant mural with a caricature of the owner and a huge baseball bat is at the entrance of the restaurant.

And second, because of its location, in the heart of the Windy City, one block from Michigan Avenue and one or two blocks away from the main areas of the city bars. It has two parts, the bar and an Italian type of restaurant. The bar itself is quite American. All wood, with ceiling fans, many bottles behind the bar and TVs, tons of TVs to watch baseball, softball, football, basketball ... Every day the bar shows a different sporting event and the place is always packed. A variety of beers and not too expensive. In addition, there are bar crisps and they're pretty good. Here, the best thing to eat is the hamburgers. It's great to have them in the bar while watching a game with a good beer. Everything's a delicacy and comes with an overdose of fat. The other part of the room is the restaurant. It is an Italian grill, definitely, but with a lot of sports memorabilia, especially baseball, which was Harry Caray's whole life. Here the prices are already slightly inflated, although the food isn't bad. The meat is pretty good. Alongside all this, there's a small souvenir shop in the restaurant. Some other things about this place can be amusing and definitely worthwhile. Not bad if you're just passing through the area and want to have a beer with a burger in a typical American restaurant. Also, it's not too expensive, it's very reasonable. One of the beers that surprised me and that I really liked was the Sam Adams. Highly recommended.

Very Large and has Retro Flavor

When I landed 20 years ago for the first time in Chicago, this Italian restaurant (or better, Italian-American) had recently opened at the crest of the wave. Twenty years later, I saw that it still a public favorite. It is located in the Near North Side, and it's almost next to Marina City in a historic red brick building that has been covered in flashy neon lights and adverts (it's bold, not to say tacky). The name of Harry Caray will mean nothing to 99.99% of people from Spain, but in Chicago he is a mythical figure. This radio and later television commentator built a great reputation broadcasting matches for one of the local baseball teams, the Chicago Cubs.

Caray was quite a character, a peculiar commentator and he constantly mispronounced the names of the players. However, he was adored by the fans all the same. Consequently, the restaurant is decorated with lots of memorabilia accumulated throughout his career. Almost all of them are related to the world of baseball. The place is very large and has a retro flavor. The cuisine revolves around pasta and meat and and, as usual in the USA, the portions are more than generous. The food is good and the price a little higher than other similar restaurants. I'm only sorry I could not eat there on my last trip to the city because I didn't have enough time. Next time.
