re: Chicago this weekend, White Sox and Cubs game

Sox - generally not a whole lot to do outside the stadium. Couple bars a block north. Fantastic Mexican joint called Martinez Market if burritos are your thing about 2 blocks or so away. Otherwise Sox food is great inside the stadium. Red Line is safe too and from Sox games since it’s basically all fans.

Cubs - tons of bars/restaurants within a block of Wrigley. None have particularly amazing food but they are all fun. Sluggers has batting cages on top floor and arcade games. Not sure if kids are allowed but I’m sure they would have a blast if so. Wirgley’s food is meh.

As for other food options in the city:
pizza: Pequods
Wings: Birds Nest
Steak: Bavetts
Burger: Au Cheval
Cool Tourist food spot: Chicago Pizza Oven Grinder
Fast Food: Portillos

Other kid friendly activities: North Ave Beach or Navy Pier

Summertime Chi is the best. Have fun
