PM me if you want some nice bar/club ideas

There's plenty to do, and keep you busy for the weekend.

for the standard site-seeing stuff...there's millenium park, sears tower, museums (i would suggest the field museum and shedd aquarium), and navy pier. other than that, it's probably better to check out the local neighborhoods during the day, like lincoln ave in lincoln park, clark st, southport, milwaukee ave in wicker park, etc.

Welcome to Chicago. There is a lot to do, please give us some idea of your interests.

I am going to move this to Windy City, but please continue.

Do they have Blue Man Group in DFW? If you've never seen it, it's awesome, but tix may be hard to get.


My suggestions suck.
