Latin is quite willing to host dinner for those coming in from out of town and for those who are in the area. Please leave your name below if you're interested in dinner and if you have a food preference. We have a number of good food options in the area that are within walking distance. We have Thai, Pizza (Chicago deep dish for those of you from out of town), real italian food establishments or Mexican. Of course there are a lot of choices in Chicago but these are a few in the area.
