I would do the Art Institute. I know your trip has prob come and gone, but for others: The Modern Wing is now open. Then go to China Grill on Michigan (further north) or to The Gage (also has outdoor seating and near the AI). Farther away is The Italian Village. It is still in the Loop, though.
If you are looking for cheaper eats not too far from the AI, go to Gold Coast Dogs (char dog, cheddar fries) on Wabash kitty corner from Macy's.
You might also try the Chicago Architecture Fdn on Michigan. The walking tours are great!
