You're either lying outright or proving that even a homeless person wouldn't want to be in Chicago RESmonkey! ;)

Eat at the Weber Grill - yes its owned by the Weber BBQ company.

Fantastic food - great burgers & beer can chicken. Great selection of beer on tap as well.

Billy Goat Tavern is blah.

Have a stroll through Lincoln Park neighborhood and grab a char polish dog at the Wieners Circle.

Another vote for the top of the Hancock from a Chicago native.

Gino's East is over rated.

Might as well go to the Cheesecake Factory below the Hancock if you're wanting to make it easy, shop along the magnificent mile, then head somewhere like Capitol Grill for dinner. That makes a nice (albeit expensive) touristy day.

Cloud Gate.

fuck all those mouth breathers that call it "The Bean."

but yeah, Millennium Park is pretty nifty.

in 6 years in Chicago, I never went to Sears tower, so...I don't know. Hancock is always better. It's "free" with a drink (visit the Signature Room), and you can see Sears from there.

Art Institute is a must.

Shedd is great.

Skip Gino's. If you must have a deep dish, then I say check out Due, only a few blocks away. Gino's is near Pizza Inn quality.

Which day do they make the duck fries?

Friday and Saturday.

EDIT: Oh God I made the mistake of looking at the specials: "Bacon Cheeseburger Pork Sausage with Coca-Cola BBQ Sauce and Serendipity Cheese " Sweet Zombie Jesus I miss that place.

"Veal and Parsley Weisswurst with Goose Island Pere Jacques Beer Mustard and Caerphilly Cheese " FUCK!

1.) Go to North Ave Beach.
2.) Look at scantily-clad hot girls taking advantage of first really hot weekend after eight months of winter.
3.) ?????
4.) Profit.
