Hello Ladies
I am going to Chicago next week on business and have some down time. Would love recommendations of where to go and what restaurants to eat at!

TIA

We moved to Chicago 5 years ago. It's a great city. I agree with Chicago Chophouse (yum!!) & Carnivale. And the sites mentioned above are all great. I preferred the top of the Hancock tower to the Willis Tower. I just liked the view better and it's smack in the middle of Michigan Ave, so you can just go up when you need a break from shopping. You could also have a drink at the bar up there. I also highly recommend an architecture river cruise. There are a whole bunch of different ones. Some leave from navy pier, or from Wacker Drive/Michigan Ave.

Have a great time!Chat Icon
