Travel Guides - World Travel Guide. Chicago 2011 Part 7 - Alinea - Dining Out. Our reservation for Alinea (booked over two months out and acquired by luck) was what dictated the timing of our trip to Chicago in 2011.
We were planning on visiting the Windy City a full month earlier, but couldn't get a reservation at this world famous center of avante garde cuisine until June 22nd at 9:15pm.
