Updated!

While I'm there, what are THE places I need to check out while visiting? Food, fun, etc.

I'm 26 years old and am visiting a friend in the Linkin Park area of Chicago. Since I'm a native New Yorker, I'd love to try out some good "Chicago style" pizza so I can really see which one is better...NY or Chicago style. Any recommendations?

I'd also like to do some sight-seeing. Other than Wrigley Field, is there anything else that's a must see? Obviously my friend will also be showing me around, but I wanted get your take, too.

Also, I may be looking for a job there, too. So if any of you are involved in commercial real estate, let me know!

Thanks!

basically it comes down to good places to eat and drink. The last time I was there I checked out Weber Grill and some famous popcorn place on Michigan -- thought both were cool.

get the Ditka. good beer selection too. Its on lincoln.

Good stuff for sure...I'll have some extra space in my suitcase for a tin.

in the way of museums, theater, dining, live music, architecture, and many other cool stuff, and popcorn made the highlight film. hmmm.

mentioned was the last thing I would think about when traveling to another city... I see what you are saying, but wouldnt be my first choices at that age...

drinking hit the pizza place under BAR Chicago... probably is the worse pizza sober but becomes the best pizza EVAR when drunk! :-).. after your one trip to Division... NEVER return again!

j/k... Lou Malnati's or Geno's East are very good representations of Chicago pizza. Don't bother with Giordano's... it's a national chain now, and their pizza has gone WAY down hill.

Check out the Museums... Field Museum and The Museum of Science and Industry are both very cool.

Take a walk down Michigan Avenue and see all the cool stores. Millenium Park is okay. Navy Pier is okay I guess if you're a tourist, but it's kinda cheezy.

So I really didnt have a chance to explore all that much.

DC...I'm originally from New York but moved to DC 4 years ago. Thanks for the suggestions!

since their schedule is kind of random.

the exhibitions and displays seemed quite sophomoric considering the quality of the collection.

Was quite glad it was free last Sunday, because world class it did not feel.

hahhahaha Lincoln Park!
