Elephant & Castle
Elephant & Castle is far too busy for everyone to know your name, but if you go there often enough, you start to become part of the active hum that runs through the place. Whether it's the after-work crowd popping in for a brew or St. Paddy's Day maniacs who cheer the drum & pipe crews shoving their way through the crowd, Elephant & Castle is always filled with people in a very good mood. And yet, it's also a wonderful place to eat a quiet lunch or dinner with friends. I've been in after-work, on St. Patrick's Day, and had dinner there many evening, and I plan to go back as long as I'm employed downtown. It's my quick escape after a hard day's work.

Comments
A bit late, I know...but I had a funny E&C story. I have fasted through the morning on the way to have my blood checked at my doctor's office in Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
The test goes fine, although I'm nervous about my cholesterol. As I'm leaving, feeling quite hungry, I find the new outpost of the E&C kitty corner from the hospital.
Cholesterol sabotage!!!!!
