If anyone wants to take a crack at TileMill for this, TM2 / Mapbox Studiio (new name) can do this pretty well now:

Metro's RLIS data could be a good source; maybe streets, public transit, and (very subtle) building footprints as a base with locations of interest clearly marked. I doubt all the restaurants / food carts will fit (certainly not with labels) but perhaps they could be symbolized. I'll give it a shot and send out something in the next few days.
