Hi guys,
I've been looking for a map with interesting locations (gathered in one place) and I couldn't find one, so I've created a custom map that can help you get around during DrupalCon.
I've added 2 major airports (O'Hare and Midway), Sheraton Hotel (Drupal Tower), Gleacher Center (pre-training sessions), Field Musem (opening night party), and some food & drink locations mentioned in this forum.
If would you like to see more POIs , or you have some specific locations that worth mentioning, please let me know.
You can access the map following this link: http://goo.gl/maps/D7LG

Train Stops
It might be good to add the Grand Red Line stop, as it's the closest CTA stop to the Tower.
Overflow hotel
Now that the Drupal Tower has spilled over into the Intercontinental, it's probably a good addition:
InterContinental Hotel Chicago
505 North Michigan Avenue
New additions
Thanks guys. I've added the Grand-Red station and also all alternate hotel options from http://chicago2011.drupal.org/news/alternate-hotel-options-drupalcon-chi....
More suggestions are welcome.

Some Additions for the Map
A couple notable restaurants (more on the fancy/nice side)
Frontera Grill / Topolobampo - (Mexican) James Beard award winner, Rick Bayless is a Top Chef Master, Michelin Stars, all that jazz... and just a couple blocks away from the tower. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire world, to say nothing of just Chicago.
Longman & Eagle - (New American) Though a bit further away from the tower (over by my neck of the woods, actually), it recently recieved glowing reviews from the NYT and other publications, and a Michelin star to boot. Great, great drinks and food.
The Six Corners - Blue Line Damen stop (O'Hare branch). Take the train, walk out the station, literally look in any direction, and you'll find someplace awesome to eat/drink/hang out.
Chinatown - Open 'til super, super late at night, perfect for late night Dinner pt 2. Be sure to go to Chinatown Square, on the north side (towards downtown), where all the really authentic food is. My favorite: Lao Tze Chuan.
Map updated
Thanks David, I've updated the map.
Binny's
Also nearby is Binny's Beverage Depot which has quite the selection of beers, wines and spirits.

Fox and Obel
While most attendees will notice the Dominick's grocery store across the street from the hotel, worth checking out is the slightly spendier local specialty grocer Fox and Obel, located btw the hotel and Navy Pier. They have a very nice cafe and great wine, cheese, bread and beer selection.
Also Intelligentsia at Millennium Park for amazing coffee.
