Chicagoans, come in! :)

Hello. :)

 

So, I finally am booking my trip to Chicago and since the Chicago board is dead as dirt most days and there are a few of you who have lived there on this board, I figured I'd pop in and ask a few questions (holy run on). 

What should I definitely do while I am there? Where should I eat? I am planning on staying at the Essex in near Grant Park. There is a Polish Pride Parade (or something) the Saturday I'm flying in. Really excited about the sausage jokes to be made!

Re: Chicagoans, come in! :)

  • When are you coming?  I have no clue when the Polish Pride Parade is....  LOL

  • May 6-8. :D I am going solo. Woohoo!
  • How long are you staying?  The MOSI is free one day (or at least was a few years ago it was) and the Field Museum is free the another day.  But, I only know that because I'm a little nerdy.  Ok, A lot nerdy. Eating....I don't know, we ate at chains and in Homestead (which I later found out was, apparently, a ghetto.) 
  • There is sooo much you could do, especially solo.

    Millennium Park

    Chicago River tour

    Michigan Ave shopping or just strolling

    Garrett's Popcorn is to die for

    If you like deep dish pizza - Lou Malnati's or Gino's East are tourist faves

  • The Art Institute is one of my favorites, along with the Chicago Historical Society.  MSI and Field are great too.  And everything that SouthSeas said.  
  • Definitely Portillos and some Chicago pizza! YUM!

    Is Portillos better than Gino's?
