2 days to spend in Chicago -- what should I do??
Have a wedding to attend there that will occupy my Friday and Saturday, but will have Wed, Thurs to spend in Chicago. I have never been.
Would like to solicit ideas of how to make the most out of my 48 hours of free time there. Already bought tix to see Cubs at Wrigley. That's all I have lined up to this point.

What kind of stuff are you into? If you're looking for the major tourist type attractions you've got the Natural History Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue, Lincoln Park Zoo...any 1 of which might take an entire afternoon. There's lots of nightlife near Wrigley Park or Lincoln Park too.

Re: 2 days to spend in Chicago -- what should I do??
When I'm in Chicago I always love to visit the Shedd Aquarium (they used to have a great otter exhibit and probably still do) and The Art Institute. The Art Institute is just amazing, you should really try to make time for it if you enjoy art at all. The Museum of Science and Industry is really cool too but very crowded.
I've been to Navy Pier several times but it doesn't do much for me. I did ride the ferris wheel though and it is tall! Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not to go up this summer and check out the King Tut exhibit at the Natural History Museum. My sister and her family are planning a trip up there and it sounds sort of fun. I may tag along.

Re: 2 days to spend in Chicago -- what should I do??
This is really dependent on what you like doing.
-Definitley walk around downtown. If weather's nice, their will be lots to look at. -Michigan Avenue is always a good idea. Check out Millenium Park -Go to the top of the Sears Tower or Hancock -Eat at Portillos. -Find a good Chicago pizza:Gino's East, Lou Melnadi's, Giordano's -Tons of musems, Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium -While at Wrigley you must pee in the troths. -Lots of fun bars within walking distance of Wrigley. If you only have 2 days I wouldn't go to the casino boats, but that's always an option. Haven't you always wanted to see Gary, IN?

Re: 2 days to spend in Chicago -- what should I do??
1) Cubs game. Get to Wrigleyville a bit early and pregame it at the Cubbie Bear, Sluggers, Murphey's etc etc. There are tons of places on Clark to choose from. Plan to stick around Wrigleyville after the game and pick up some hotties or gay men. The choice is yours.
2) The top of the cock for some drinks is always a fun way to see the city. 3) Portillos 4) Architechture river tour or skyline cruise.
