Avoid city roads. You will end up loosing a rim or two

Enjoy our finest rush hour traffic and Swiss cheese roads.

Museums are cool, Shedd aquarium and Field Museum (natural history) are highly regarded as two of the best of their kind.

Food is always good here, can't go wrong with some pizza at Uno or Duo.

Shopping on Michigan ave is good... Also helps us fix our roads with tax money, please support. Lol

Navy Pier. Magnificent Mile. The Field Museum has awesome exhibits. Hancock Tower. The Bean.
Lambo Gold Coast has some amazing cars (last time they had two Veyrons) and right downtown.
Those are the staples. Do you want to try good food, sights? What do you prefer to see?

Do the architecture boat cruise if the weather is nice, its like an hour and actually is a really good touristy thing to do...and then eat like a pig

Architectural boat tour is good. I think there's 2 flavors. One of them only goes on the river. The other one goes on the river, thru the locks and out onto the lake.

Drive up n down lake shore drive. Check our navy pier & make sure to eat.

Nobody beats our food. Deep dish pizza, burgers, etc. Ive been alll over the US.

Nothing touches Shytown food. Maybe NYC, but LA, Miami, etc, nope. not even close.
