NT Help! What to do in Chicago Jan 8-11

[gameovertripleh]

NT...

my girl and i are going to Chicago this weekend (specifically Jan. 8-11)

i was wondering what is there to do out there? anything crazy going on this weekend that we should check out for sure?

i been there before and she hasn't, so i wanna take her to the field museum, art institute of chicago, millenium park, michigan avenue, sears tower/hancockcenter...but i'm not sure where else to go.

what are some good food spots too...i can't go starving while i'm out there...haha.

could any NTers from Chicago or those who been there help me out? thanks!

Field Museum is weak. Go to Science and Industry. Not sure if you would like Navy Pier but it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Chicago.
The rest of your plan sounds good.

FYI more things to do around the Hancock. Sears Tower has a nice view if you never been there but if it is cloudy just skip that. As far as eating depends onwhat you like.

I would suggest to go to the Hancock at night its a great view especially on a clear night especially when looking at Sears tower and then the Sears towerduring the day.

Obviously take her to see the bean and at Millenium park is an ice rink. I took my gf there one time and we ice skated, it was pretty cute

A restaurant Ive gone to, its Greek food, is Santorini, but definately when youre out there you should check out one of the famous Chicago pizza places. LouMalnatti's, Giordano's, are some but I would definately suggest the Original Uno's pizzeria off of Ohio. Definately good stuff.

Another thing on State Street is the ABC brodacast building, and if you get there at the right time could get yourself on TV for the news or something, or atleast the live broadcast.

I was there on Tuesday and this past weekend too and went to a place called Cafe Laguardia, a Cuban restaurant. I would most definately check that out onenight. Its worth the trip. http://www.cafelaguardia.com/http://www.cafelaguardia.com/

Just a couple of things I could think of. Hope it helps!

I dont really know what your wallet is lookin like (not that its any of my business), but if youre going to the hancck center you may want to consider havinglunch or brunch in the signature room. Its in the building on the 95 floor and overseas everything. I didnt mention dinner because that menu is much moreexpensive. If you do consider going, check their website becauase there is a dress code.
