You should really go to navy pier and the Willis tower. I would check out some baseball too! I love the Chicago White Sox! Make sure you eat some DEEP DISH pizza and a killer dawg! Check out the second city theatre company too! So much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 you are pretty close to me and turnstiles. first time living in the city? Yeah. I lived in Milwaukee for the past 18 months and before that palatine. My wife's brother and sister live close to us now so I'm pretty familiar with the area but never lived here.

bgdesign Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 what neighborhoods will you be in? Chicago is big. People tend to stay in the Loop/River North when they visit. Always the biggest mistake. ChasHawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostTrail Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I second the Piece Pizza recommendation. Although it is in no way Chicago pizza. If you've never had Chicago style deep dish, there's a Gino's East basically on the downtown Northwestern campus on Superior Street. Lou Malnati's is my personal favorite for Chicago style; they have a handful of locations around the city. Also agreed on Reckless; probably the best record store in the city. There's also a downtown location a few blocks from Millennium Park, but it's much smaller. If you guys are into burgers (and metal), Kuma's is definitely worth checking out. There's two locations, but Kuma's Too on Diversey has much shorter wait times, generally. It's also easier to travel to. Revolution is probably the best brewery in the area. The brewpub is great to visit; the beer is top notch, with the drafts constantly rotating. The food is also fantastic. The only thing is the wait times are pretty atrocious at prime times. The best time to go (if you're trying to eat at least) would be on a weekday around 4:00 PM or a couple hours earlier on Saturday. It's also right off the Blue Line, which you should be pretty close to. http://revbrew.com/brewpub _unproductive and mappingtheyears 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
