Seeing the Chicago Board of Trade
I'll be in Chicago from July 28 - Aug 3 and I'd like to see the Chicago Board of Trade. According to https://www.architecture.org/experience-caf/tours/detail/chicago-board-of-trade-building/ there's a noon tour on July 12, July 27 and August 9. Unfortunately, I won't be there on those days. Do I have any other options for seeing that building? Are there restaurants or shops inside I could do business at as an excuse to see the interior of that building?
