Berghoff Closing

After more than 100 years the Berghoff Restaurant is closing. Rumor has it that Carlyn Berghoff Catering will take over the space as a banquet hall, so at least it will stay in the family. For the last two weeks there has been a line down the street of folks trying to get one last chance of eating at this famous locale.

The site hosts a petition to keep it Marshall Fields and not Macys. I'm not sure if it will help, but they may get the message if enough people sign.
