Ohio Street Beach — Local services in Chicago

It's a bar and restaurant right on the beach, complete with tables in the sand. Really really good food! The way to play it is to plan a trip to Navy Pier, but do it after the Mag Mile--walk along Lakeshore Trail for a bit, stop in at Ohio Street Beach, and then go onto the Navy Pier for a...
