But they'll hardly even be in the room!

That's what I said. Hell I am staying in a Candlewood suite in Warrenville using reward points.....close as I could get to Sandwich without having to pay.

You should walk your ass 3/4 of a mile down the road to the Towne Tap, get shitfaced, and order a pizza from Al's (attached next door). With any luck you won't have to deal with one of my ex girlfriends hanging out and being irritating...

My wife handles that quite well.

We have Ghirardelli out here as well.

Where can they get the best Chicago style pizza? Lou Malnati's?
Lou Malnatis Chicago classic for sure!

If they do the boat tour the exit is pretty close to "the purple pig" awesome restaurant... Bone marrow, oh yes please!

How is TBD supposed to know Sue is the T-Rex at the Field Museum? Maybe that's your favorite hooker?

They are going to do Science museum. Field museum is not their cup of tea.

What do they like to eat?

Do they like craft beer?

Are they museum people?

What else do they like to do?

Also: Rush Street, as a guy who ubers and is around there often, isn't exactly the place for a young couple. I'd suggest Southport Ave.

Are the rules for carseats the same for uber as they are for taxi's? If it is just a short ride daughter wants to strap the baby to herself and leave the carseat in the hotel room. Especially to go eat. And they are not staying at the Gwen hotel. They just liked the name:) Hyatt riverfront I think she mentioned.

There was a thread someone posted a couple years ago and there was a ton of good info in it for when my wife and I went for the first time. A good suggestion that we bought was the city pass, and since, we have bought it for other big cities we have traveled to. It bundles many of the touristy things together at a much cheaper price. The Art Institute was pretty good.

The three great things to see at the Field Museum:

Dino bones (Sue)
Mummy's
Shrunken heads. They have pictures of the living smiling missionaries that later got shrunk right next to their heads, fucking cool.

Over all S&I is more fun, a German U-Boat.
