I'm bumping this thread, but I will say that my Chicago-area pal says that there's more to do and see and have fun with in Chicago than many places, and the food is suppossed to be stellar.

I know that helps, like, nil. But have fun!

aww, I've gone to Chicago a few times, I love it there!

If you wanna try Chicago style pizza, you must go to Pizzeria Uno. They're freaking delicious. I'm not even a big pizza person & I love that place.

If you don't mind bumping into drag queens, try this place:

BERLIN NIGHTCLUB - Chicago

Back in the "old" days these two places were hang outs for me.

Smart Bar | Chicago

Metro | Chicago

I've rested my bat wings here more than a few times.

Neo Chicago: Serving Chicago's Underground Since 1979

I've never been to this place put the wines look enticing, Watch the video!

Minibar | Winebar in Chicago - metromix.com

I didn't know about Uno until I moved to Boston. My ex took me to the one that's located in Kenmore Square. Turns out I've walked past the original Uno's restaurant here in Chicago many times and never noticed it!

Back then I was a Leona's guy.

you're probably not interested at all but chicago has some amazing art venues. i was surprised by the amount of art there and the quality of all of it. truly an amazing city (and not only because of the art). after my stint in nyc i'll try to move to chicago.

If you like Museums here are some popular ones to try:

I'm gonna be staying at the Hard Rock Chicago next month, and I keep reading really mixed reviews of it. People seem to either love it or hate it (a lot of people bitching about the decor and how it's too dark and the staff are all snooty). What did you think of it?

Well it was good but it wasnt GREAT, I mean I prefered The Hilton, but it is good.

The best thing is the beds and the free giftbag. And the fact the China Grill is within the Hotel.

And it is kinda dark, the staff was ok, they were great as far as helping with luggage but you when you ask them for stuff they are like "uh no, I don't want to, whereas the Hilton was very nice, when I had blisters all over my feet they came up and sent a first aid kit.

The decor is nice to me, losts of classic rock art, and I liked how the store sold Harijuki Lovers clothing.

But the staff just needs to be more accomadating.

Overall it is good but it could be a lot better, I think the fact that they charge more than The Hilton they should be more accomodating and they weren't.

Comfy beds though.

Okay, cool. Thanks for that. I'll just remember not to ask anybody for anything and I'll have a great time
