Lincoln Square is a great neighborhood less than one mile away full of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and businesses. It’s a great place to walk and sit in the actual German/Swiss/English inspired brick laid square. Two of our favorite restaurants are the Warbler and Gather. These two restaurants are located next to one another with the same owner. We really cannot say enough good things about the vibe, food and drinks. We go regularly and always have a 5 star experience!

Signature Lounge at the 96th floor:
We believe the Signature Lounge is now open for food again after a recent kitchen remodel. It’s located on the 96th floor in the Hancock building. Definitely one of the best views in the city while you take in some barely overpriced food and drinks. The view is unbelievable, especially on a nice clear night, or day! Highly recommend sunset. If it’s not open for food, it’s definitely open for a Hancocktails or nonalcoholic beverages. One of the best views is looking out from the floor to ceiling glass windows in the ladies restroom.
