| Things to do in Chicago?
I just found out I have to go to Chicago for work in May. I don't have much free time but I do have a friday to look around before I fly back here on sat. other then going to a baseball game(cubs are out of town dammit) I was wondering if anyone else would be able to give me a idea what else I could do for fun and check out?

In Chicago you gotta eat, eat and eat.
I consider myself to have a very high standard on food, to be more specific, I'm very picky on the flavors.
I ate at maybe 12 different restaurants while I was there, and god forbid... even the steam bum was pretty good!!!!

Posted via RS Mobile | I went to Pizzeria Uno last time, but plan ahead or make reservations if they take them. Average wait is usually 40-60 minutes just cause the pizzas take forever to bake. There's another 2 or 3 that are pretty popular as well, I just google'd them lol.
Sears Tower? The metallic bean? I'm kind of curious too since I'm going back this summer.

If I were to go to Chicago, I would drive to see the United Center and take a picture with Michael Jordan's statue outside  . That's only because I'm a huge fan.
I think Sears Tower is pretty good to do and see the city (if it's a nice day).
Let me know if you will be hitting up the malls/etc. I want to ask you to check and see if you can find something for me  if you can.. hehe...I'll pm u if you are.. if not, no big deal

For some reason, hockey players love playing/partying in Chicago...

Your in chicago, go for chicago style pizza. Best place I have been, and most locals rave about, giordano's pizza. I think they have two locations now, but the one right down town is the spot everyone raves about. I only went to one just outside of downtown, and it was pretty damn great.

There's also a section of town they used to call Burritoville, all Mexican eateries staffed by real Mexicans... we went to one place, got a MASSIVE (like, you can barely wrap two hands around it) burrito for like $2.50.

Oh, and as far as non-eating attractions:
Shedd Aquarium
Field Museum
Museum of Science and Industry (very cool, they have a full 737 inside!)
Lower Wacker Drive (famous from the Blues Brothers, and more recently from Dark Knight).

If you can ask her anything else I could do.
