Without knowing what you've done and where you're going it is hard to give good advice. Have you done an architecture boat tour? That's probably my favorite touristy thing in the city. Chicago has world class improv and plays. If you've never made it to Second City or Steppenwolf I'd put those on the list. My restaurant list is too long and what is exciting is often personal. Alinea is the most famous of the top end restaurants and is quite the experience if you can stomach the price and get tickets. Oriole has the best food of that bunch from my experience. Honestly, go check out Eater's top 38 and pick some that interest you - it's a pretty diverse list and they are great curators. I'm a Logan Square guy, so I'd add Osteria Langhe (get the plin) and Longman & Eagle to the list. Anyway, sorry for you that you're leaving the best city to live in, but you can always come visit :)

Hello! I’m based in NYC and looking for my next role. I work in the digital strategy/brand strategy space.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
