    El Taco Veloz is awesome and cheap. 1745 W Chicago Ave

    Morton's steakhouse is also great. I know it's a chain. But they make one of the best restaurant steaks I've ever had. Go with the Cajun Rib eye. Their lobster is great too. Ask how much it is though. Not cheap.

    If you like beer with hops. Try Three Floyds Brew Pub. http://www.threefloydspub.com/

    Yep, especially after 18 beers. :D

    When you go to Wrigley, you must have a Chicago dog (with tomato and sweet peppers) and a Heileman's Old Style. I would also go to the Cubby Bear bar across the street. There is a Billy Goat Tavern that is a two block walk from Wrigley.

    Wrigleyville is a fun place to stumble around drunk! :D

    You have to take a stroll downtown and visit the beach. You will never see a cleaner city in the US. Its beautiful.

    Ive tried all kinds of Pizza there, you can't really go wrong. There is a hot dog place where they shout obscenities at you, I was too drunk to remember much more about it. (Speaking of drunk... 4am is last call. Its bliss...) I had so many great eats there, but the whole damn thing was a drunken haze. I can't think of names. Raza's? Reza's? The bar/grill at the Wrigley intersection has some insane Chicago staple dishes.

    Walk the city. I cant stress it enough. Its calming. Hancock Observatory is the best view despite what you will hear. They will even take your picture in front of a fake backdrop. Its a must buy.

    Don't drink more than 1 drink at any bar. Keep moving. The Triangle, Wrigleyville, etc...

    BTW: I once asked for jalapeƱos with my nachos and the waiter looked at me like I was insane. So stay away from the Mexican.

    Hot dog place = Weiner Circle. Be prepared to punch back, though. That's what makes the place fun

    The other place you were talking about is Reza's.

    Most bars still close at 2, though there are a large number of after hours spots.

    Lou Malnati's will always be my favorite Chicago pizza.
