We are staying downtown near the Magnificent Mile. I'd like to take in a Cubbies game but it looks like they are on a west coast swing that week.
1. Giordano's for pizza.
2. Listen to some live blues. Chicago is kind of like Nashville, Memphis, Austin - so many good places to hear live music you almost can't go wrong. You may also be lucky enough to be in town for a blues street festival (do a quick search)...
3. If you want private time with wifey while out and about that is certainly OK, but note that Chicago people are some of the friendliest in the country. If you walk into any neighborhood bar people won't freeze you out like they will in some towns because they didn't go to high school with you. They will be very welcoming. You can have a good time with new "friends" in most bars in Chicago.
4. There is a great museum of natural history as well as an aquarium that I believe will be close to where you are staying. If those sorts of things interest you both, check out one or both. A walk along the lake is always nice too, particularly early in the morning.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
