[Chicago] Suggestions for things to see in Chicago

[Jason Rexilius]

I believe Michael was joking there..

There are the normal tourist things which are worth doing:

- architectural boat tour from Navy Pier

- observation deck in Sears tower


There are the native Chicago gems:

- jazz at the Greenmill (Al Capones old jazz bar)
http://www.greenmilljazz.com/

- burgers from Billy Goat under the Wrigley building (saturday night 
live skit based on it)
http://www.chicagobarproject.com/Reviews/BillyGoat/BillyGoat.htm

- baseball game at Wrigley field (I hate baseball but its worth going 
and there are games the days you are here)

- dinner at 160blue (great restaurant):

Music, theater, arts, etc.:

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GO TO NILES..
