Geno's East for Chicago style Pizza.
Sears Tower was fun! Was that you I hit, Manny? Sorry! = )
Magnificent Mile is good if you want to shop!
Also I didn't get to go, but I saw some people on a "gangster run" bus tour who seemed to be having a great time.
it's been a long time since I was there...... but this time of year it's going to be humid as ... and not every place has air conditioning... so expect to sweat it out if it's humid....
Chicago rocks.
Must see:
Navy Pier (hopefully they'll have an event going on...usually live music, etc. A tourist destination, but hey, you're a tourist)
the Magnificent Mile downtown (unlimited bars and clubs...highly recommended: the Underground Wonderbar - one of the hottest blues clubs I've been to. Small place with big soul)
Eat pizza. Seriously. Keep an eye out for a by-the-slice place called "Chi-Town Pizza"
I don't know if you're a nightclub guy, but there's a Crobar in Chicago. If you like dance music at all, Crobar is a world class club.
Buy a day pass for the L. It'll get you anywhere you want to go for the whole day, and it's less than $5.
Check out a Cubbies game!
Ed Debevics, its a pretty cool place to eat
Wrigleyville and the Gold Coast are a lot of fun, too. Most bars stay open till like 4:00 or so.
Watch your back....
wow. this is great. thanks for all this tips.
i've wondered about this as well.
should i get a crockodile dundee knife to carry on my back?
or maybe i could take mouse and keep him in a backpack to keep me posted.
Someone already said it, but Wrigley Field.
If you want to experience america or at least a piece of americana, an afternoon game witha beer at Wrigley is IT.
Havent been in a while, but, you cant go wrong if you stay in a nice hotel downtown, its a weird town no question.

Enjoy your trip. In recent years, I've only been there in the winter and they have great eateries and pizza joints there. I have always wanted to see a game at Wrigley Field. When I was a teenage kid and we visited Chi-town, our family went to (old) Comiskey for a White Sox game because the Cubs were on the road. ' Never having gone to Wrigley would fall into the Regrets category.
Zak - is this a vacation? How did you decide to go to Chicago?
I was born there, but have never been back. Let me know how the trip goes!
yeah i'm basically going up for two weeks, take a couple classes, and explore/party while trying not to get into too much trouble. wifey is not scheduled to come with, but i fear she may find a way...
i'm using all my vacation time, but i'm 2 days short, so i'm contemplating calling in sick from up there, or maybe just feign ignorance to the fact.
Yeah, what happened...did the Levee break?
signed: Robert Plant
Classes in what, if I may ask?take a couple classes
Have a great time - I would definitely go to a Cubs and/or WhiteSox game if I were you - I've been to both there. I can't give many recommendations on clubs, etc because I haven't been there in many years. But the pizza is good and it's a fun town.
If you are taking some classes why isn't your employer covering the costs?yeah i'm basically going up for two weeks, take a couple classes, and explore/party while trying not to get into too much trouble. wifey is not scheduled to come with, but i fear she may find a way...

And keep your receipts so you can write it off.
