i lived there for 4 years and have some great recommendations

1. cubs game: sit at the bleachers section, drink some beer and enjoy the summer

2. Chicago Pizza Oven Grinder
http://www.chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com/

upside down pizza, great food, small location, usually 40min lineup on a regular night. don't miss. way better than commercialized 'deep dish chicago' pizza joints

3. Green Mill
http://chicago.metromix.com/music/b.../136761/content

live jazz 7days. kind of a scary neighborhood, but alot of top jazz talent performing makes it worthwhile. Al Capone used to frequent the bar 70 yrs ago

Thanks for the tips guys!

I am going mainly to see the city. My friend and I got tickets to the Cubs game already (Sunday). I want to spend a day seeing the architecture and tourist spots of Chicago. Of course we'll be spending some hours on the beach, if its nice out . I think Saturday we decided to go to Vision to see Moby. I wish there were a few other better djs in Chicago this weekend. I might just buy my tickets today!

I would definately go up the Sears Tower or the Hancock tower to get a sense of how big and awesome Chicago is. I think the Hancock has a bit better view than the Sears. They also have an amazing waterfront so if the weather is nice and you have time during the day hit up the beach. Taking a cruise down the magnificent mile is a must as well. They also have this cool little area with tons of bars and restaurants all close to one another (kind of like a Yorkville I guess)...I can't remember the name of the street right now but I'll find out for you. Cubs games at Wrigley are also pretty awesome if you're a baseball fan. As for going out at night...Soundbar, Smartbar, Vision, and Crobar are pretty much your main places. The nightlife in Chicago isn't nearly as good as you would think for a city that size.


I think its Oak street you are after............Chicago is definitely one of my faves in the US......
Beware of the GHETTO though......don't stray too far into South michigan ave
