    Skydeck at willis tower during the day. Have a drink on top of john hancock at night. Shedd is great if you have not benn there. I like atler planttarium and field museum less. Eat at giordanos on rush for pizza. Cafe bacci is great for lunch. The acrheticture water tour is also fantastic.

    Have fun!

    Agreed, great steak.

    You should also check out Terrace at Trump, one of the prettiest views in the city.

    Wrigley is going to be a madhouse tonight as Paul McCartney is playing. But you can hear the concert quite well outside the stadium if you're interested.

    Both of those will be tough.. Sixteen has good food and nice atmosphere. The Terrace is right outside of Sixteen.

    Charlie Trotters or Tru for a real dressed up experience....
    Mortons is a chain so no surprise with the ambiance comment....
    David Burkes is a nice find and ask for the 75 day aged ribeye.... I had the 55 day aged and excellent.. 75 day aged is next on my list... As people have mentioned the Signature lounge on the 95th floor for cocktails and free views but I like the Sears (Born and raised in Chicago-the city, not the burbs and I refuse to acknowledge "What you talkin bout Willis) tower walk out experience...
    Just as I grew up walking distance from Sox park and have a hard time calling it US Cellular vs The new Comiskey.... Kominsky if your even older with your native soil accent..

    Tony.............

    I'm not much into boycotts, but since Charlie Trotter was instrumental in getting Chicago to ban/outlaw foi gras years back, I certainly wouldn't (and haven't) given him any of my business.

    Left today. Best Resto for us was RL. Excellent service and food - I was surprised.
    Went to museum of science and industry- excellent.
    The art institute was phenomenal- a must see!
    Stayed at the talbott - good value.
    Overall great experience. Loved the city. Will be coming back next year.
    Thanks for all the pointers guys.
