    I always hit Twin Anchors for ribs when in Chicago. It's closer to Wrigley, just below Lincoln Park, kinda by the zoo

    There's so much to do in Chicago but if you hang in WrigleyVille it'll zap your wallet pretty quick.

    If you're into history, the Field Museum is Excellent.

    If the Merc will let you in, watching the floor action is kinda fun!

    Take a boat cruise on the river!

    Also look up their local media contacts. Whenever I travel I like to see if they are filming anything and I go linger s a extra in the background.

    If you're staying near O'Hare, Rivers Casino is there which has a book.
