1942The Navy operates various training programs at thepier throughout the war, including pilot training orien-tation. Eventually 15,000 pilots are qualified, including

a young airman named George H.W. Bush.

1946The Navy moves out and the University of Illinoistakes up residence, transforming the facility into a

two-year undergraduate branch campus that remainsin existence until 1965.

1967The original McCormick Place is destroyed by fireand Navy Pier helps keep many conventions and

trade shows in Chicago for the four years it takes torebuild McCormick Place.

Every year, the arrival of the annual NationalRestaurant Association show at McCormickPlace presents an interesting dilemma. While theshow itself features plenty of good examples ofcutting-edge cooking and plenty of opportunitiesto sample some fine cuisine, the city outside thecavernous convention hall holds a seemingly infi-nite number of additional great possibilities aswell. With so many options and so little time,you’re bound to miss something. But there’s nouse crying about it – better to just tuck a napkinunder your chin and make the best of it.

Where tobegin? Well, in acity built on aproud immigranttradition, authen-tic ethnic diningis one of the hall-marks of theChicago restau-rant scene. Askfor a recommen-dation for a goodItalian meal, forexample, andwell-versed localswill invariably include the trio of restaurants atthe Italian Village among their picks. From thesteak and seafood of the subterranean La Cantinato the modern Italian fare of the sleek Vivere tothe traditional Old World favorites of The Village,it’s easy to see why this three-story stalwart hasbeen a Loop staple for more than 80 years (71 W.Monroe; 312/332-7005).

Beyond downtown, another name that willundoubtedly arise in any discussion of authenticItalian dining in Chicago is RoSal’s. This classicfamily-owned trattoria is one of the mainstays ofthe city’s traditional Little Italy neighborhood,and is a perfect place to pair a big plate of pasta
