    Eat at Giordano's, the real Giordano's. Also, check out Navy Pier for a good view.

    You could also go to Buddy Guy's. Sometimes Buddy Guy actually makes appearances and performs.

    Go to Michigan Avenue, eat at Pot Belly sandwiches
    Get Garrets popcorn (must get cheddar cheese and caramel mix, trust me)
    Go to Harry's velvet Room
    Got 5 Faces afterwards for a gyro to go

    Ditto Resa's. For desert, check out Hugo's Frog Bar on Rush near Division. Places to chill: FourNoFive on Halsted and Hubbard is a pretty chill lounge, great hip-hop. You can catch some great blues/jazz a little further north on Halsted at B.L.U.E.S & Kingston Mines (they are right across the street from each other). Buddy Guy's Legends is a pretty aight bar but I think he only plays there in January.

    If you get a chance to see the Cubs at Wrigley, go for it. Wrigley Field is worth suffering through the Cubs (if only for the gorgeous females....I mean good god...) and afterwards, you can always hit the Wrigleyville bars. Giordano's is great but I would avoid the one on Rush St. at all costs -- there always seems to be a 45 minute wait there. Instead order out, or trek out to other franchise locations (Greektown, Belmont, etc).

    If your with a female, I would suggest the Signature Lounge in the Hancock building -- it is the PERFECT chill spot.

    Have great time, Chicago is a wonderful city.

    although it would be impossible to dispute the iron-clad logic of your response, don't you think it overgeneralizes? i mean, aren't hookers the answer to every question :confused:

    Scratch Acid

    Didgits
    The Ex

    They have a Pot Belly Sandwiches here in The Woodlands at Market Square and it is fantastic. Best of all, they are cheap and do not forget to get the hot peppers. They are awesome.
