Things to do in Chicago?

[Mr_Mark]

Will be there next month. Only have about a day and a half of free time. What are some must see sights or places to eat? Staying right by the O'Hare airport

One of the things I always loved about Chicago is it offers options for all different tastes.

EAT!
Go to Portillo's and get an Italian Beef sandwich, best thing about chi-town.
If you want deep dish pizza, only go to Lou Malnati's and get the buttered crust.
Weber Grill restaurant. Every steak is grilled on a Weber grill, pretty darn tasty IMO.
Great local brewery (recently went national this year) called Goose Island.. 312 is my favorite (the yellow one, the green 312 is hoppier)

Sights:
Architecture. Some amazing structures downtown other than the usual Sears (refuse to call it Willis) Tower.
Navy Pier
Awesome museum/aquarium.

O'Hare is kind of in the burbs so if you don't have a car or don't want to take the train downtown, they still have those restaurants I mentioned in the NW suburbs. If you have time to just kill and you want to stay in your area, you could always spend a day walking around Woodfield Mall, one of the largest in the US.

I 2nd the Portillo's and Malnati's suggestions. Don't get a pizza from anywhere else.

Aquarium and Navy Pier also good ideas.

If you like jazz I really like this place for some cocktails:

Have fun! :toast:
