Help on budgeting food/transportation money for a vacation in Chicago?

Question by Krazi: Help on budgeting food/transportation money for a vacation in Chicago?
I want to go to Chicago over this spring with my family on a vacation, but I’m having a bit of a problem budgeting food and transportation in general.

Food – there are four of us, and we’re all females. Roughly, as restaurants in Chicago go, how much money should I put aside for three days worth of meals?

And transportation. I’m not planning to take a taxi, but how much is bus fare in Chicago?
