Hi, gonna be in Chicago next month and, since i really liked the movie locations, i'd like to know where the spots are, especially:

-the Starbucks where the girl has her photo taken in front of;

-the street where Spader goes all the time to the asian restaurant;

-The cemetery (could it be Graceland butr not sure)

-The skyscrapers street filmed at night, with the photo vendor

Thanks everyone!

Hope this isn't too late for your trip, but I'll answer in case future generations want to know:

-The asian restaurant is on Argyle Street, between Sheridan & Broadway, and most of the chase after he eats there the second time was shot around there. You can easily reach this neighborhood by getting off of the Red Line train at Argyle and proceeding east about one block. I lived around there when this came out and it was a real treat to see.

-The photo shop is inside the State Of Illinois Building, sometimes called the Thompson Center, downtown at Clark & Lake (and near the multiline train stop of that name). The first couple floors are like a mall.

The rest I forget. Anyone?

I thought the photo shop was at The Water Tower?
