What else.. the Sears Tower (it's kind of expensive for what you actually DO but well, it's neat up there), Navy Pier would be a great idea if it weren't so darn cold this weekend.<BR/><BR/>I would stay away from the Museum of Science and Industry (unless you like that sort of thing).

City. EVER. It is only my favorite!...Chicago: Best. City. EVER. It is only my favorite! I used to go there at least twice a year though I sadly haven't been in about two years.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Navy Pier is fun but I am a nerd so I appreciate the museums! I love the Museum of Science and Industry, The Shedd Aquarium and The Field Museum. I tend to wander away from downtown a lot and find great little neighborhoods with fabulous food, drink and people but... I can never remember where I am when I find them. However, the best Chicago-style pizza ever is at Pizzeria Due (doo-ay) near the corner of Wabash and Ontario Streets right off the Mag Mile. You won't be disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Since I was silly and wore a thin coat in the middle of October, I experienced the whole Windy City thing. It does get pretty gusty there and the lake makes it chilly. But the lake is sooooo pretty!<BR/><BR/>I have to warn you that Chicago proper has about a 10% sales tax though...not to dampen your fun, I'm just sayin'.

For women after dark it's a standard policy (it's safer... why make women walk alone in the dark farther than they have to?).
