The Allerton is a good location. You're close to both Gino's East as well as a Giordano's, so finding good pizza will be easy. The Hancock is only a couple of blocks away and they have a good observation deck if you want to see the city and surroundings from way up high. You're also close to the Tribune Building, which you might pass on a walk down Michigan Avenue. (It's at the north side of the bridge over the river, on the east side of the street.) If you pass it, take a few minutes to check out the exterior wall of that building, which is embedded with stones and ornaments from famous buildings all over the world. One of the Billy Goat Taverns (the most famous location) is right across the street from there, but on the lower level. That's a good place to get a burger. Reza's has good Persian food. The Clark street location was mentioned earlier in this thread, but that's way up on the Northside. The Ontario street location in River North is a short cab ride (or stroll) from your hotel, so that might be more feasible.
You should definitely try to take walks around the area where you're staying and into the Loop, just to enjoy the architecture.
