Just taking a random trip, seeing if there's anything specific I should do/see?
Already got a Blackhawks and a White Sox game planned. Too bad the Cubbies don't start the season at home.
Just visiting one of my cousin's down there, and she's pretty much planning the rest of my day's, but thought I'd turn to the CP braintrust to see if there were any must see/must do/must eat things in Chicago?!
Chicago is easily my favorite US city and I am lucky to be there often on business travel. If you are checking out some sporing events and do a few of Canada 02 suggestions you'll have a great time. The architeture of the skyscrapers is amazing.
Make sure you check out Giordano's or Gino's for some deep dish pizza as well. Italian Village in The Loop downtown (I believe on Adams St) is good italian food and used to be a favorite eatery for Al Capone back in the day.
A tour up the Sears Tower or John Hancock Tower is also a must. I prefer John Hancock becuase you they have a good restaurant to eat while you enjoy the view but both are good.

This individual is not affluent and more of a member of that shrinking middle class. It is likely the individual does not have a high paying job, is limited on benefits, and has to make due with those benefits provided by employer.
Does your cousin's dad have a Ferrari? If so, steal it, then pick up your girlfriend and best friend and light up the town! Fun activities include:
-going to a Cubs game (guess you're gonna settle for Sox)
-hit up an expensive restaurant downtown. If they won't let you in, tell them you're the Sausage King of Chicago.
-join in a random parade and sing a song up on a float
-go to a museum
-avoid getting caught by your parents or principal
-trash the Ferrari

Gino's Pizza was awesome. I love taking a walk down the Magnificent Mile.
I also couldn't get enough of some of the hole-in-the-wall Blues clubs along Clark Street. Architecture's cool. Easily my favourite American town. I've had a tonne of fun there.

I hated that punk. I wanted the principal to catch him.
Going To Chicago!!
