There's an absolute shitload to do for tourists.
Willis Tower (Sears Tower), the John Hancock building (go to the bar there instead of the observation deck), Navy Pier, definitely do an "architecture tour" (its a boat ride), Wrigley Field (you've got that covered), the Magnificent Mile.
The Museum of Art is great, The Field Museum, the Aquarium.
Just scratching the surface. You really can't run out of things to do.
Restaurants:
The Purple Pig
Girl & the Goat
Avec
Pequod's Pizza

Chicago Architecture riverboat tour is a must. You can take one from Navy Pier to kill two birds with one stone
Then I'd just hang out in Wrigleyville, maybe go to the Field Museum and some blues bars and stuff

Go to Wieners Circle in Lincoln Park around midnight. Great hot dogs.
Also, make sure to ask for a chocolate shake. They are world famous, and worth every penny.

If you golf and have time, play Sydney Marovitz course. Its on the lakefront, so the scenery is awesome. Its a short taxi ride from the Mag Mile area.
And go see a Second City show.
ETA: Stay away from Navy Pier. Absolute tourist trap.

Maybe some douchey art galleries. Other than that, Lake Charles has more fun stuff to do.

Fun Bunch nailed much of it. I'd also throw in there that Second City may be worth a stop. Just buy your tickets in advance since they sell out. Architecture tour is awesome.
My first Cubs tickets are for next Saturday, so I'll look for a guy that looks like someone you might look like.

Also did this and agree. Depends on who is performing though I'm sure they're good if they're performing there.

It's the same players every show. I believe right now the show is about ebola.

Chicago's Field Museum is another must see.

Architecture tour is totally worth it
The art institute of Chicago is incredible and a must do
Don't waste your time with the navy pier
