Suggest 1 thing to do in these 7 Midwest cities
Going on a baseball trip starting this weekend:
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago (again), Cincinnati, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh -- in that order. I should have time for 1 touristy-type thing (i.e. going up in the Arch in St. Louis) and one "local" food stop (i.e. gotta try deep dish at this Chicago Pizzaria) in each city. Food can be a place to grab pre- or post-game grub. If one or more of those cities catches your eye, give me your 1 touristy and 1 food-related "must-haves."

Giordano's or Geno's East Deep Dish Pizza. Nuff said.
My favorite non-sports tourist attraction stuff is the Museum of Science & Industry I can get lost in there for days its so much fun. Chicago

An alternative to the Arch in St. Louis is the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour. Yes, beer snobs, I know it's crappy beer. But the tour is pretty cool.

Re: Suggest 1 thing to do in these 7 Midwest cities
In chicago, just go downtown and wander around millenium park and the downtown area. There's also the art institute, aquarium and field museum within walking distance and a Giordanos right by the Sears Tower.
If you're going to Chicago for one day, Hyde Park (where the Museum of Science & Industry is) would NOT be the place I'd go to. Not what I'd call a tourist destination.

[/ QUOTE ] Wow, I'm sort of suprised by this. I mean there is a lot to do in Chicago and well you are right its not very touristy but I love the Science & Industry it's a cool place that not every city has. But hey its just me. To each his own.... Also if you get to have a few meals and don't wanna eat pizza and wanna go to a fun laid back restaurant you should try Ed Dabevrich's (I'm sure I butchered this) most sarcastic,rude, and funny waiters/waitresses and just a stupid way to kick back and have a good time.

Re: Suggest 1 thing to do in these 7 Midwest cities
Food only:
Chicago- get a beef, too. Wet. Hot peppers. St. Louis- either toasted ravioli (nearly everywhere), a sandwich from Amighetti's (15 min. from Stadium) or Ted Drewe's frozen custard (same). Cincinnati- Skyline chili, hands down. They're everywhere.
