*As far as stuff to do, if you like theater, there's always something going on at Second City, Blue Man Group(i think they're still around - will look into) along with lots of other shows. Greek Town, China Town and Little Italy for food, all the links TPJ listed above for museums, plus the Field Museum and Adler Planatarium. Rollerblading/biking along the lake, beach volleyball, plus various other outdoor sports.A good website to find different events is Choose Chicago (Basbakhan)
