Cool stuff to do at Chicago. Also: NC BBQ

[Mayareira]

Looking for some very quick tips on what to do in Chicago. I've got a very limited time here (hours!) so looking for museums and good sightseeing tours, stuff unique to the city.

Thanks in advance!

Field Museum of Natural History, you will not be disappoint! When I lived in St Louis I worked in Chicago quite often and was always amazed going there, def give it a shot.

This looks awesome, I'll go there first before it closes.

Isladar can vouch for how awesome it is, you'll have a blast. It is one of the best museums I personally have ever been too and the place where I met Neil Shubin, who wrote "Your inner fish".

Find me a job for the next two months.

That would be 'cool stuff to do at Chicago'.

The Science & Industry Museum is my personal favorite, though Field Museum is in fact epic. Shedd Aquarium just got redone with some very nice sections about 2-3 years back as well, it looks great now.

I recommend checking this out if you want to hit all the major spots:

Other than that, the Sears Tower observatory is nice, but I personally prefer the Signature Room at the John Hancock Building, especially at night. It's on the 95th floor, the drinks are expensive as shit but it's worth just parking for a bit, getting an appetizer and a couple martinis and checking out the view.

Also have a look at this site: http://www.transitchicago.com/, there should be some decent deals on weekend passes for the CTA, and it also has all of the CTA system maps to help you plan the trip out.

Finally, the place for pizza is debatable, but find some deep dish. I personally prefer Lou Malnati's, but Geno's East is top-tier as well.

Shit! I forgot about the Science & Industry Museum, way to bail me out broham. I was going to suggest seeing Kyle Orton's old subdivision and laying wreaths on the lawn but I figured that would be too hardcore and overwhelming for Chicago novices.

Also Geno's is top tier as shit. They featured them on Food channel a few weeks ago for like the 4th time, definitely check them out also. Call is doing work up in here.

Field Museum, Science and Industry fucking TWICE, skip the Shedd, it's pretty but you're going to pay out of your fucking ass. If you're feeling saucy hit up the Oriental Museum and see the goddamn gates of Ishtar, get a fucking real hot dog, walk the Mag Mile, Millennium Park is pretty neat, ride the El, EAT, eat, and eat. You cannot go wrong with street food.

Never, ever, EVER ask for ketchup on your dog. You will be escorted out of the city limits.

geno's east for life

[isladar]

Gonna second or third the Hancock signature room, went there for New Years and it was ballers classy to have a cocktail in.

[Kyo]

Yeah ketchup on a hotdog is silly talk.

This and the Shedd Aquarium will be a day full of awesomeness.

The only other thing that would make it better is to see the Cards play, amirite? I was cursing you last night btw.
