[QUOTE=fessie] Something fun we’ve done – there’s a restaurant at 5721 North Clark that has belly dancers. That part of town is called Andersonville, and it’s really nice too. This place, [Arkadash Cafe](http://www.centerstage.net/restaurants/arkadash.html) is right across the street from the Swedish Museum. It’s changed names since we were there, but I think it’s the same chef & if so, the food is fabulous! [/QUOTE] I think you’re mixing up 2 different restaurants. The place across from the Swedish Museum is now a sushi place, so no belly dancers. [Arkadash](http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/search/55874,0,2850454.venue) does have belly dancers, but it’s half a mile or so north of the Swedish Museum, and on the same (East) side of Clark Street. I’ve had mixed experiences with the food there, but the people-watching is great! ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Well, hell, if that’s all you need, then just park it on the street in an area with nice (newer) cars. Or the CTA has [Park ‘n’ Ride lots](http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/park.html) that are cheaper than a hotel room, and most of them are pretty secure. [/QUOTE] It’s not all I need. I need a bed for Saturday night too. I just want to find a place that’s safe, has parking, isn’t too expensive, and isn’t ridiculously out of the way for when we come stumbling back.
