What to do in Chicago....

Holy Crap, Thanks Beac!!

 

If your out drinking late hit up a late night burrito place. So bad for you but so good!

 

I lived @ Sheridan & Bryn Mawr and delivered for Hi Ricky's .

 

Go see Da Bears

 

Fixed

 

Don't get me started
The older I get, the more I hate upper management. Mike Glennon & $14 mil Great choice.

 

Don't think I saw it in Beac's list, but Randolph St in River West/Fulton Market area has some of the best restaurants in the city (great food everywhere). I also second an Italian Beef (and Al's is good) - this is a real Chicago food unlike the deep dish pizza which I've only ever seen tourists eat.

You can get a good view of the city riding the Brown Line and best part is it just does a loop around downtown and heads back North - you can't get lost or end up in a bad neighborhood. Avoid Orange, Green and Pink lines for the exact opposite reason.

If you're not opposed to walking that is by far my favorite thing to do in Chicago. All over downtown, the city under the city is cool, lakefront path, but also make sure to get to a neighborhood like Wrigleyville or Logan Square to also really see Chicago. The loop isn't "the city" per se, jsut where people work and tourists do stuff.

 

Go see Sue and the aquarium. Top of Willis for some cocktails.

Grab a burger and fries from Small Cheval.

Get into the Aviary or Alinia if you can.

 

Popcorn = Garrett's

 

Not sure if you're into shows or not, but I forgot about Tommy Guns

Go to a Cubs game, and allow time to eat and have a beer before near Wrigley, and go to Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and take a nighttime Chicago River tour leaving from Navy Pier --doesn't sound like much, but it was really memorable.

 

Cubs are out of town in MKE

 

Yeah, lets trade up for a number two pick and then not let him play while Glennon shits the bed.

 

I'm still trying to figure out what the though process was that went into signing him, let alone for 14 mil

 

That is true today and this weekend. The OP did say that he'd be in Chicago NEXT WEEK.

I've been fortunate enough to see the Cubs play at both Wrigley Field and Miller Park. Wrigley is awesome because it is so iconic. But Miller is far better for just being an awesome, comfortable, and modern ballpark (and the Brewers are just kinda lovable underdogs ).

 

Don't cloud up my bullshit with your facts.
