Chicago trip
 

i am going next week
what's the cool spots?
where are the cool all flavors clubs?
got any tourist but not really tourist sites suggestions?

Check out www.metromix.com - I couldn't plan my weekends without it!

I'll be in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend - so let me know what to do.

Things planned already from previous excursions:

Bubba Gump's at Navy Pier

Hard Rock Cafe

Wrigley Cub's game (not this time, though) :(

Million dollar mile shopping (my wife's idea - goodbye wallet)

What else is there to do?

i think you meant magnificent mile. . .;)

LOL I was like, I live here and I've never heard of that!

Pizzeria Uno or Lou Malnati's.....YOU MUST have chicago pizza!!

I prefer NY pizza... but anyway, I recommend Gioradano's for Chicago-style.

The Mag. Mile is amazing...

Also, it seems to me like everyone in Chicago is always going out for tapas, am I right? Cafe Iberico is good if you want to go there.

Oh, and you have to go to the Sears tower or the John Hancock observatory deck.

Haha - I just went out for tapas last night! I've never been, but I hear Cafe Iberico is great. Cafe Ba-ba-ree-ba and Twist (in Wrigleyville) are good, too.

OK, OK. MAGNIFICENT MILE. Sorry - not a Chicago native, obviously! :p

Chicago style pizza - had Pizzeria Uno's last time - a medium pizza more than fed four of us - yum!

i know we plan on clubbing
the reason we're escaping to chicago is
because we both miss the latin culture
we're suffering from their absence
we have a little here but not a lot
(yeah, it's lexee and lucas from down the block)
so, we're coming to immerse ourselves there

Check out DisneyQuest and ESPN SportsZone - think of the ultimate arcade.

oh we're definitely going ESPN
we're both huge sports fans
so we'll be hitting up ESPN most definitely

DisneyQuest is looooong gone - it's just an empty building now (sitting on prime real estate, I might add).

I have friends in Chicago - we're planning to visit them over the 4th of July weekend. We went to Taste of Chicago on the 4th a couple of years ago. HUUUUGE mistake... it got extremely crowded, and a fight broke out not 10 feet away from me (nobody, including the police, tried to break it up, and people were actually videotaping it :rolleyes: ). Normally, crowds don't bother me, but I freaked, and we decided to watch the fireworks on TV instead! If we go to Taste this year, it won't be on the 4th :)

Visit the Museum of Science. There's one day a week that it's free. Go on a different day - it's worth a few bucks to not have to deal with the crowds.

Keep the ideas coming, I'm looking for them too :)

Girodano's Pizza is the best! Check the phone book, there are several in the city.

Also, get your hands on a Pot Belly sandwich

Also,


Check out Navy Pier (if the weather is good)
