Former native. I?d see lakefront and Grant Park. South side tends to be less crowded at the lake. Museums. Navy Pier just to get out far on the Lake. Chgo pizza places - I like Aurelio?s Pizza? they have one location on Michigan Ave. I?m also partial to Cafe Babareeba on Halsted. Little Italy has good food places. Go out onto The Skydeck at Willis (fka Sears) Tower. Make sure to avoid Chgo Marathon soon downtown.
Quick places to visit and std sites for tourists, except Aurelio?s.
