You can go to the Mag Mile and shop with all the rich white people. No beer.

Check to see what sports are playing in town. Drink beer!

Go to the beach and check out the lake. Bring beer!

Just because I don't know how to spell the language of some tiny African nation doesn't mean that I'm wrong in thinking that your attitude towards women is 100% wrong. Obviously, you're some skinny, single nerd living on the East Coast who probably derives value in life from wrestling matches, hoping that Wolverine gets to sleep with teenagers and engaging in casual drug use. You're literally the worst thing to happen to comics since Stan Lee.

Not a big fan of rich Whiteys or sports, but that does remind me to check now for any shows I might want to see.
I hate finding out that an Artist I like is sold out at a cool venue in a town I'm visiting.

A lake visit sound cool.

Hot dogs from where dude?

Deep dish pizza is a must.

Regular giant slice pizza for $5 at Bacci's is good shit.

Maxwell Street Polish are the best.

Just don't give the homeless guys change here! It's like that episode of South Park. Change?! Spear some change sir!?

Now this is the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I want some real Midwest/Chicago flavor.
Even if it's touristy I want something that's uniquely Chi.
We got Museums and stores in New York. (Though I am a fan of architecture so if the building is cool, I'm game)

We also have zoo's but I love them, so I'll probably check yours out.

Navy Pier has food and beer. And fire works at night.

Bacci for giant slice pizza.

Maxwell Street Polish.

Chicago's Pizza has the best deep dish.

Giordano's and Leonas has good restaurant pizza.

Johnny's Beef has really good italian beefs. I think it's on Harlem by North Ave.

Portillo's has good burgers.

Weber Grill has good shit all around.

Foge De Chao, Saloon Steakhouse & Brazzaz Steakhouse are a high class but have top notch steaks. Expect to pay a lot my friend.

P.S. Chang has good Chinese food.

You can see the Smurfit-Stone Building if you like architecture. (It was the building from the end of Adventures in Babysitting). :-D
