Things to do in chicago...?

This week (mar 9 - 15th) me and my friends (were all college students) are going to Chicago for Spring Break, we know for a fact we want to visit the museums and go to a Bulls game (even though they're not so hot this season) - but we are looking for more things to do! It's 5 guys and a girl, but shes into it all (except im guessing strip joints). If you have any suggestions of fun things to do, post them! I'm talking good restaurants, nice outdoor things to do, things to see, things to try, things you can only do in chicago, places to dance/drink, shows to watch - anything!



we are going to be closest to the loop, and we're trying not to spread out too far from there.



any help would be nice!Things to do in chicago...?
Well of course, the Cubs will still be in Arizona.

Instead of the Bad News Bulls, take in a Blackhawk game.

Go up to the 95th in the Handcock for a drink in the evening. The view is awesome, and all you're paying for is the drink.

Go to Harry Carey's, Uno's Pizza, and hit the bars off Rush street if you're of age.
ummm...where to start. There is so much to do in the city but you may want to rethink the outside stuff this early! If you plan to do outside stuff make sure to bring lots of warm clothes - the whether is pretty unpredictable and it has been really cold lately. Here is a few things that might interest you guys - these are in addition to all the bars, restaurants and generally craziness that happens all the time downtown....

Augustinos, Girodonnos, Portillos!!! Clubs;... Crobar... House of Blues...Blur... Buzz...Karma... Other; Navy Pier... On or near Dearborn there is a Theatre (I believe its near a Chase building.) Shopping... The Water tower... there's tiffanys, Louis Vuitton, and a bunch of clothing stores... etc etc etc etc
Um.....ball games...if you're closest to the loop, go to a Cubs game, um.....Chicago is a city of neighborhoods, every neighborhood has something to offer. If you do go to like museums and stuff, there's the Field museum, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, the Art Institue....make sure you show your college id so you guys can get a discount at these places. If you're over the age of 21, the bars in the northside are cool. Have fun....I miss Chicago:(
Well wether is a factor but it said Monday is 40 so thats goos. Go to Museum campus and rent a bike. Ride along the lake and go to the aquarium or field museum, or art institute. You can get around quicker on the bikes and its nice. They have segways too but those are pricey.



Also if you like nightlife buy a TimeOut Chicago and pick up a reader when you get in. There is a ton of stuff going on this w-end. Around the coyote in Wicker Park is one. Then you can parlay that into one of the night clubs or restaurants in that area.
