As someone who's lived there for four years, let me give you some suggestions.

1. Architectural tour of Chicago. You go on a big ass boat down both sides of the river while someone explains the history of the city and its architecture.
2. Field Museum/Shed Aquarium. Both are stellar in their respective field.
3. Deep Dish Pizza: Gino's East, Giordano's, Lou Malnatis (my favorite), it's not a real trip to Chicago without having a deep dish.
4. Those beef sandwiches are overrated.
5. Willis (was sears) tower.
6. A cocktail at the top of the Hancock.
7. House of blues, or one of the many jazz bars Chicago has to offer.

Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder on Clark. Mmmmmmm...

Watch Alabama kick Tennessee's butt at the Houndstooth in Wrigleyville. Or go to any of dozens of bars on the strip there and watch your favorite college team.

Well, when I visited as a youngin' I loved Navy Pier. Can't go wrong with that. Also, the Field Museum was awesome. Never got to see the Shedd. On the pizza debate, I love deep dish, and Gino's East was pretty rocking.

Anyone know a place where I could go and watch the Jackets/Wings game Tuesday in the O'Hare area?

What good sports bars are there around there? Curious if Wiz makes any difference.

there are a couple of sports bars in rosemont, not sure if any will have the game. Shoeless Joes and Harry Caray's off the top of my head

Harry Caray's? Sweet. I will check that out either way.

So if I ask to put on a game between two division rivals, am I likely to get beaten up?
