Museum of science and industry. Museum of Natural history. Dude if you're willing to drive check out Beggars Pizza. There's a few locations. Cubs stadium is always nice. Sears tower as well. Just a few ideas.

Navy Pier Willis Tower (was Sears Tower) Mike Ditka's Steakhouse
Careful with directions. East Wacker Drive, North Wacker, South Wacker, Wacker Wacker. I don't know who Wacker was but he has a lot of roads named after him.

There's a lot to see my old lady's family is from Chicago been there twice in the last few months. Tons of stuff to see and the food alone is worth the trip, check out Al's #1 beef for an Italian Beef sandwich and don't wear a Cubs hat on the South Side LOL It's a real easy city to navigate just don't get lost. Parking dowtown is super Pricey, Sox games are fun as hell and pizza is all about preference Beggar's for non deep dish, Pizzeria Uno or Lou Malnati's for Deep Dish and Giordano's if you want Stuffed.

You have to try Garretts popcorn. Sounds weird but that popcorn is like drugs. I still order it shipped to my house this very day...lol.
Chi-town is a beautiful place. Downtown is nice with lots of shopping. Lots of nice jook joints and dives too. Try the off the wall places to eat at as well.

You eat that once you will love it, it's bigger in Chicago then the pizza is and the surprising thing to me was they have some of the best Mexican food in Chicago too.

If you want a badass steak, check out Gibson's Steak house, and also East Side deep dish pizza for some serious deep dish.

-------------------- Making the moderators cyber-sit me is probably a good way of getting my account locked for a while. I know they're busy folks volunteering their time to help others out.It's selfish of me and others who make their task more time consuming and difficult than it already is. In fact I should either chip in and help out or not participate at all. I'm going to do my best to be part of the solution and not the problem from now on.
