There are some great rooftop bars all over the city. I was looking forward to checking some out but our group got too drunk at other locations.

Eta: just remembered we went to Trump and had $24 old fashioneds. It was awesome.

I know everyone mentions museums, but the Field Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago are both awesome.

The architecture boat tour is awesome, would for sure do that.

Should do one of the tall building observation decks at night also, I did the Hancock center before dinner one night and got some cool pics.

Have fun, its a cool city.

There's a bar on top Hancock tower that has expensive drinks but they are top shelf and you get an amazing view of the skyline and Lake but restaurant is expensive as hell, the bar requires no reservations, Cubs and white Sox game, plenty of beer gardens near Wrigley, Luckys sandwich shop and weiner circle are also near Wrigley, millennium Park, science and industry museum, al's Italian beef on University of Illinois campus is phenomenal (get the sandwich fully dipped and dressed), night cruise on river, take a tour of goose Island brewery, the chop house is rated as one of the top 10 steakhouses in America but it is expensive and there is a dress code, the steak was amazing, Skywalk on top of sears tower, and finally Gino's East for the best deep dish pizza in the world

Gino's East for Chicago Pizza

Giordannos is good too.

Zed 451 is a cool spot. Great rooftop bar, lounge area.

You have to take over a parade and sing the Beatles.

Rent a boat on the lake from captain Chris. He's awesome and it was a great time. Also went to the art institute and planetarium.
