Chicago hidden gems?

Hi,myself and a friend are heading off to Chicago from the UK this Thursday-yay, I'm so excited I'm just wondering if any of you lovely Chicago dwellers have any "off the tourist path" recommendations?? Its gonna be great to do the toursity thing, see the sights etc but sometimes its awesome to find hidden gems, that only people who live there know of and would recommend. Soooo, let me in on the secrets...I promise we'll be good and behave(up to a certain point anyway! . All donations are greatfully received. Thanks.

ahhh c'mon, tell me all your secrets

Hi!

I wish i could help you but i have never been there, but have a GREAT time while you are in America!!

I can recommend a few:

Club Berlin (in Boys Town): If you are in town the last Sunday of this month, they have a GREAT Prince vs. Michael Jackson party from 10:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. Admission is free and they have a drink called a Purple Rain that is great.

Crust: An fire-brick oven pizza restaurant.

Pontiac Bar: They have an outdoor patio, cool drinks and karaoke with a live band on Friday nights.

I don't have any addresses, but these places can be found online.

Pepes mexican restaurant 112th state- SOUTHSIDE!!!!- best mexican food on this side of town

If you have to do something kicking and screaming and tearing down others with your "self love" words- maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

I swear we know each other. I've been to all those places.

I do recommend the Prince party. It will be Prince v. MJ this month.

I've lived here all my life and one of my favorite things to do is hang in Boys Town. I think you guys would also have fun doing touristy stuff.

I don't particularly care for Crust but I love sushi. I'm still hungry over that salad I had at Crust.
