Re: [CODE4LIB] barbecue bourbon, 2/13
I went there a few months ago and has some great BBQ. Since I don't have a connection to the wiki, if someone just wants to add that anyone can get there by taking the Red Line to Clark/Division stop. Once you get off there, it'll be a few blocks of walking. Steven J.

Note to the Thursday afternoon Newberry Library tour attendees: this BBQ restaurant looks to be just 3 blocks north of the Newberry on Dearborn Street.

Re: [CODE4LIB] barbecue bourbon, 2/13
Q is very excellent food. I'm in. It says 24 minutes (in perfect traffic/bus timing) from hotel to, I figure meet in the lobby around 6:10 and time a bus from there. -- Abigail Goben Assistant Information Services Librarian and Assistant Professor University of Illinois at Chicago Library of the Health Sciences - Chicago (M/C 763) 1750 W.

Re: [CODE4LIB] barbecue bourbon, 2/13
Yes, it is indeed. Half an hour is a good estimate for getting there via public transit from the conference hotel. Also, there are many restaurants near the Newberry, for those of you touring on Thursday. --Linda On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 4:12 PM, Doran, Michael D do...@uta.edu wrote: Note to the Thursday afternoon Newberry Library tour attendees: this BBQ restaurant looks to be just 3 blocks north of the Newberry on Dearborn Street.
