Hi,
As a Chicago resident on the north side, I'd say that public
transportation will be fine. From IIT, you can get to the red line (you
have to cross the Dan Ryan expressway so it's a bit of a hike from the
MTCC). There's a Belmont bus that runs pretty late if memory serves that
can get you over to Belmont and Damon (which is 2000 w. Belmont). The
area's pretty safe; I've been to Beat Kitchen once but it was a very
long time ago.
Oh, and the maps on the CTA's website are very helpful; there's a trip
planner than can help you calculate times etc.
