Like I said, here are some more pix from Chicago. A couple of things:

1. The Hancock Tower is WAY better than the Sears Tower, especially at night. You get a better view of downtown and can see more of the city for some reason.

2. You must eat at Giordano's. It's like you must go to Tavern on the Green in NYC. Get their Deep Dish Pizza. But get the small. It's too big even for two people, even me! And I can eat like a retard!

3. You must walk all of Michigan Ave, say from Soldier Field all the way to the Hancock Center. Trust me. Also, bring your credit card. Great shopping, especially near the Symphony and of course on the Magnificent Mile on N. Michigan.

4. Take a cab the first day or two you're there (this is good advice for any city, BTW). This lets you see the city while you're getting around, and you can ask the cabbies about the good stuff. They know. Trust me. Then, you can use the public transportation, when the purpose is getting there, rather than sightseeing. In our case, we didn't have enough time in Chicago to use the EL, but in NYC we used the Subway the last two days we were there. Awesome.

5. If you need suggestions on restaurants/clubs etc., use metromix. It's the nightlife section online of the Chicago Tribune. Great info there.

Have fun out there.
