Lunch Sanctuary in the Loop
Tuesday's glorious weather made it a fine time to be lunching outside. Office workers in mass brought their lunches to the Art Institute's south garden - a semi-private square set just far enough from northeast corner of Jackson and Michigan to perhaps make one forget for a moment that they're downtown. Lunch-takers sat on stone ledges surrounding a regular pattern of trees whose branches seem to come together into a single screen above. Set your calendar for lunch here in a couple of weeks and hope it's warm again. The garden is free. And Thursday evenings from 5:00 to 8:00 the museum is, too.
