The original Morton's of Chicago, founded by Arnie Morton, is still living up to its carnivorous legacy. While there are now Morton's steakhouses coast to coast (as well as three additional Chicagoland locations), plenty of locals and visitors make this spot their destination when they crave sirloin, strip or filet mignon. Decor is clublike, with brick walls, white tablecloths and subdued lamplight. The below-street location adds to the air of exclusivity. Keep an eye peeled for celebrities and politicians; steak is prime fuel for Chicago's movers and shakers.
