Rush st. is all you need to know for bars....

also down by Lake Shore dr. and that area is nice for shopping, etc.

I like checking out the Museum of Natural Science and Museum of Science and Technology near the lake front, which is also walking distance from Shed Aquarium (very nice), Soldier Field (where the Bears play), Millennium Park (free outdoor concerts), and pretty much all of the park area near the lake is great...

If you get a chance I'd definitely go see a Cubs game at Wrigley, always fun.

Sears tower is badass on a clear day..

River boat ride/dinner at night...

oh I love Chicago!

1) rush st is known as the "viagra triangle", you're better off hanging out in wrigleyville. you'll get outspent by some old douche who drives a miata when you try to hit on a girl in the VT
2) sears isn't worth the wait, and it's like a 3 hr wait.
but yeah, it's cool

3) wendella for an architectural tour
4) deep dish: gino's east, not giordiano's, not lou malnatti's. try going for lunch as it's a line out the door for dinner. you can also sit at the bar (protip) so check that out as an option before you even get in line. there's a location in lincoln park that is a hole but you can always get a table and it's byob... the two ginos downtown are full of tourists

Yeah Rush st. has seen better days, but still fun. I agree about Wrigleyville.

Thanks for reminding me about food. Like he said, get some deep dish pizza but more importantly, you MUST try an Italian Beef sandwich (double dipped) from either Al's #1, Portillos, or my favorite - Johnny's in Elmwood Park.


pic doesn't do it justice but whatevs

If you dont goto a Cubs game it will be a failure of a trip no matter what else you do

also hit up a comedy show at second city.

Roof is a great bar. That's the only one I went to this past weekend that I was sober enough to remember the name.

The bars in Wrigleyville were also a ton of fun.
