I know they have a resturant at the Shedd aquarium, but does anyone know of any places to eat close to the Shedd? Anything like a sandwich, pizza shop? Anything? If so, please give address or directions from the Shedd how to get there please. Thanks!!!!

None of the above places are within walking distance of the aquarium. There should be a hot dog cart within sight of the front stairs....or walk to the end of the peninsula to the east. Enjoy the best view of the city on your way to hot dog, pizza stand. It's about 4 blocks away. After lunch, you can visit the Adler Planetarium. I would try to park the car between the two places first.

The people who have told you that there are places close by and not shooting straight with you.
The fact is that there is a decent place in Shedd Acquarium. You are right across the street from Feild's Museum as well -- they have a very similar food choice. You will need to travel a distance of a few miles to find the places other folks are pointing out to you -- and then you are away from the Shedd.

I agree with the person above. there's nothing within walking distance. You'll have to take a cab unless you eat at Shedd itself. That whole area is kinda isolated from restaurants over there, you need to get off of it to find things.

Regarding the walking distance thing... there is a new pedestrian path that goes from the Aquarium to Michigan Ave. It it wasn't meant to be "walking distance" they wouldn't have built it. A healthy person on a nice day will have an enjoyable walk from the museum campus back to the south loop, etc.
