I visited McCormick Place for C2E2 in mid-March.  It was packed full of superheroes, then, but I still fount the large sprawling center to be very lovely.  The views of Lake Michigan are quite nice as well.  The space is vast and there are waterfally-like fountains and flowers all over the interior.  I did not make use of any food vendors while there however I did try a bathroom or two and found them to be a little small to accommodate large crowds.  Hopefully I have a reason to get back sometime soon.
