I'm visiting Chicago this weekend for my birthday and I need some suggestions for fun things to do this weekend and/or fun places to go? Where do Chicago people go to shop? What's the best restaurants to go to that have good food? Any good bars, dance clubs? Any places or streets or anything in Chicago that I MUST visit? Any suggestions will be great!

I imagine you could masturbate in Chicago. That's always fun, and all you need is a little time alone. Unless you like to perform.

if you go to bars with a mix of people ages 21-30 WEAR BLACK!!! or you'll feel like an ass if you don't PROMISE not one person is wearing any colour not even white
you dont have to even dress up just wear black...its kinda eerie

take a drive down broadway in the middle of the night and see all the crack heads and mental people!!!

Ohhh, hey guys I got it...maybe I can stick up my nice middle finger to you all instead!

Ok to answer your question since I live in chicago. Here are some of my favorite places to go to.

The Crow Bar - gay club (no I am not gay...the club is good though)

bar Chicago - My favorite club

Alumni Club which is right next to bar chicago also

Club Berlin is having its prince night this sunday I believe...it is all prince all night long from 8pm to 4am. That is fun too.

Restaurants - Tuscanys great Italin food, Chipolte, Cosi, giodanos, just to name a few.

Shopping - Water Tower Place is my favorite place to go shopping, There is a Virgin Mega Store on Michigan Ave...and the rest of Michigan Ave is pretty hopping on the weekends...As well as Division, State and Rush...this is where alot of the bars listed above are.


Hope this helps

go around to the shady side of town with a lil earphone
piece taped to you rite under where you highest button
is conected. have like two hundred dollars in you hand
and ask if anyone knows where you can get some 'STUFF',
oh they will show you a time, and you'll laugh and laugh.

i would hope they would avoid such advice, but if they
couldn't resist trying it, i would hope they had a pretty
good story to tell when they got back...

That is if they come back

My stops in Chi-town:

The Magnificent Mile - Michigan Avenue shopping & boutiques
The Water Tower - more shopping
Navy Pier - overall entertainment... food, laser tag, etc.
Harold's Chicken Shack - you can't visit Chitown without (but you gotta be willin to venture to the South Side)
DuSable Museum - African-American history & culture

Navy Pier this time of year its too cooollldd...or maybe I am just a wimp...but I love going there in the summer

MostBeautifulGrlNTheWorld said:

Yeah I forgot about that. I'd usually visit in the summer time round the Taste of Chicago.

I love the taste

buddy guy's legends... how can you go to chicago and not visit the club of a blues legend... damn... ...

best thing is NOT to go to touist attractions!!!BORING! especially navy peir


if you like music drive around and youll see all kinds of record stores and cd stores go to the ones that aren't commercialized youll find great stuff there

goe to bars down in the lincolin belmont danmeon visinity


there is a kick ass bar with pretty good live music on brodway its right next to a hotdog place at night its the only thing open on that road the road dont look nice but that one spot is


Ill write the list of bars to go to in a sec


in the lincolin belmont area there are a number of mid century modern antique stores if you like that kind of stuff

any where on Halsted (boystown) can be interesting and the surrounding area around halsted you'll find all kinds of stuff

cause they cater to the gay community your not gonna find anything down scale (on halsted and the surrounding area) that doesnt mean it all gay orientd though its just pretty nice

If you want to go down town like to shop at water tower place it acctually quit boring unless you just on the lottery but its col to see the buildings (dont run over anybody ) its very conjested in the streets with people and carsonce you go there once you wont feel like going back down town

if you likr upscale moder italian furniture go to superior and Luminere is the best place to go for that and all around it are art galleries and other upscale furniture


of coures all shopping needs to be done during the day down town evrything closes early


but if you are in the othe r areas its quite fun going to the other stores they stay open pretty late until just before you feel the need to go have a drink or a few


take the train dont drive!! or you wont get anything done
