This is one of those small hard to find places that make Chicago so interesting. It has simply thousands of places like this.

If you are going to go out on Navy Pier, take the Chicago Odyssey Dinner Cruise

Whilst you are on Navy Pier don't forget to visit Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville restaurant for some really classy dining!

I worked in Chicago for a few weeks and really liked it. Great mixture of sport, culture, museums and architectural sights. Local are very easygoing and will strike up a conversation on pretty much anything

The fish comes straight out of Lake Michigan l guess, Chicago is a long way from the sea.

As I said not a fish restaurant in the true sense just the name of it is fishy. I had steak and by far the best one I have ever had in my life to quote my wife 'the food was fabulous the best she had ever had.'

If you can only take in one game, go for the Cubbies rather than the Sox.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

My recommendation is . . .

Don't go, it's Trump territory.

NOT CHICAGO. Chicago is one of the non-Trump islands in the whole midwest. Indiana, the state next to Chicago to the east is the biggest Trump territory. Home of Vice President Chris Pence.

I did a tour of the architecture when I was there. When the Trump Tower was mentioned everyone on the tour, all North American’s if their accents were used to judge them, boooooed.

They are baseball teams right?

Take a nice evening stroll around the West Garfield Park area for a true Chicago experience.

The architecture boat tour is the best thing you can do in Chicago and only about $30.

One of my favourite cities I've ever visited. Probably better in the summer but it'll still be good.

As did myself and Mrs Hut on you recommendation and it was very good.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

No time to read the whole thread, but from the title I'd recommend 25 or 6 to 4

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I was pleasantly surprised by Chicago, embarrassingly so. It’s a truly brilliant city with heaps to offer.

I think you did the overhead train tour thing as well? I’d recommend this; fascinating stuff and it also gives good insight into the history of the city.

We only did the overhead one, the bean is magnificent as was the art museum

Home of Vice President Chris Pence.

Mike Dick Pence must have changed his name.

To the OP: visit The Art Institute of Chicago.

Just a reminder about the outside the downtown area neighborhoods in Chicago. Be careful about where you go.

Most of this violence is between gangs that are trying to control the areas where they live for drug trafficking and prostitution. But occasionally innocent people get caught up in the violence.

Sorry, my mate's name is Chris Pence. Please excuse my error.
