Where are the Best seating at the Ford Center for Performing Arts?
Also, what hotels around the center do you recommend? And restaurants.
Answers:
I'm assuming you mean Ford Oriental Theater--we own sat within the front row of the first balcony, within the center of the main floor, and rotten to the right, and they all worked out really really okay. The one exception is if you're going purely for music, most theaters have acoustics that take the sound along the ceiling so if you're within just to listen, sit surrounded by the back row of the top porch! (My mother, a musician, taught me that, and it's true--especially next to opera!)
Assuming you enjoy no budget constraints, here are some hotels that I've enjoyed contained by the area: The Renaissance Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel are nice, as is the W (there two surrounded by Chicago, you want the one in City Center not on the lake).
Restaurants that are well-loved contained by the area include: Burrito Beach (cheap in a hurry food, but boy are those burritos good!), Heaven on 7 (Cajun food, casual), Rosebud (old-school Italian steakhouse), Morton's (old Chicago Machine steakhouse), and Nick's Fishmarket...or bearing a little further to my favorite steakhouses Keefer's and Ruth's Chris (both extreme on the customer service scales) or give somebody a lift a cab to Navy Pier and budge to Riva (not better food than the other places I've mentioned, but it's good, and it's on a attractive Pier!).
