Pretty much i recommend millenium park in downtown chicago then just explore all around there. Its right on the mag mile, and state street is right accross from that. blah blah blah...and eat some good food. 9805 Post 2008-11-03T16:05:59-05:00 254077 8881 2008-11-03T16:05:59-05:00 Take a sturdy umbrella, the wind broke 2 of mine last time I was there. 9805 Post 2008-11-03T16:12:29-05:00 254084 3352 2008-11-03T16:12:53-05:00 Go to Kuma's - I haven't made it yet (last time I got there the kitchen had just closed), but it's metal on the stereo and cold beers and tasty burgers. 9805 Post 2008-11-03T17:57:01-05:00 254262 497 2008-11-03T17:57:01-05:00 I love about 20 minutes from chcicago.

It has a much better scene, it has food (get the mussels), and the selection of beer is much better. Other than that, go see a show at the Metro and get some pizza. For pizza, I would highly recommend Pequods or The Art of Pizza. Oh...don't forget to do the museum tour. Good luck! 9805 Post 2008-11-03T19:33:34-05:00 254438 8413 2008-11-03T19:33:34-05:00 <img src="http://www.hotdougs.com/Images/HotDougslogo_medium.jpg" /><a href="www.hotdougs.com">HOT DOUGS!</a> 9805 Post 2008-11-03T20:02:34-05:00 254476 1465 2008-11-03T20:02:34-05:00 <blockquote><cite>seibei said:</cite> Go to Kuma's - I haven't made it yet (last time I got there the kitchen had just closed), but it's metal on the stereo and cold beers and tasty burgers.</blockquote> +2!!!! 9805 Post 2008-11-03T20:03:26-05:00 254478 1465 2008-11-03T20:03:26-05:00 Sneak into Wrigley field and check out the dope ivy. Walk through Univ of Chicago's campus and go down town to some hipster stores. Eat a lot of street vendor and/or middle-eastern food. Oh, and say whuddup to my cousins for me. 9805 Post 2008-11-03T20:08:36-05:00 254486 6987 2008-11-03T20:08:36-05:00 I already have a hefty list but all of this is LEGIT. I will make sure I try and hit everthing here... especially if you put the word "beer" in your suggestion. :) 9805 Post 2008-11-03T20:20:50-05:00 254499 245 2008-11-03T20:20:50-05:00 Went recently myself - stopped in at Threadless - cool store. My favorite deep-dish pizzas were from Gino's East (best toppings) and Lou Malnati's (best cheese). Both have good beer. ;) Also, you've gotta try a Wreck sandwich and a coffee shake from Potbelly's! Best damn sandwich I've ever had in my life! 9805 Post 2008-11-03T21:17:14-05:00 254570 7003 2008-11-03T21:17:47-05:00 <blockquote><cite>andrE w. said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>BuchananDesigns said:</cite> I love about 20 minutes from chcicago.

Chicago museums are pretty awesome, too. The Impressionists at the Art Institute are amazing. 9805 Post 2008-11-04T06:31:21-05:00 254978 486 2008-11-04T06:31:21-05:00 That's funny, I'll also be going to Chicago for the weekend on Friday (well actually Wheaton, small town outside of Chicago). Anyways you HAVE to go to Home Run Inn and eat the Pizza, it's the best you will ever have anywhere. The Sears Tower, Grant Park, THE BEAN! Navy Pier, all definitely worth checking out. 9805 Post 2008-11-04T08:16:40-05:00 255023 4909 2008-11-04T08:16:40-05:00 <blockquote><cite>seibei said:</cite> Go to Kuma's - I haven't made it yet (last time I got there the kitchen had just closed), but it's metal on the stereo and cold beers and tasty burgers.</blockquote> Is this the place Horsebites was talking about on his blog?
