Got to the bar in the top of the H. Cheaper then getting a ticket to the observatory floor. Have good drinks. Also hit the j Parker rooftop bar. Hip as fuck and insane view at a decent price. Wiener circle and ask for the chocolate milkshake late night. Architecture boat cruise. West loop for steak and then drinks at eaglemans. Your friends will wonder when u got so cool.

Thanks for the recs- steak and polish at any particular place?

My personal favorites are Gibson's for steak and Portillo's for a Maxwell Street Polish. But there is no shortage of good places. Steakhouses like Gene & Georgetti, David Burke, Ruth's Chris etc.

I forgot Deep Dish Pizza. Go to Pequod's and thank me later.

Deep dish is definitely on the list - thanks bcg ☺️🍕

Are you the same Deloitte Digital from the sushi thread?

Nope but I do love sushi

I love Publican! And get a donut afterwards from Glazed & Infused.

Xoco - fuckingggg amazing fast casual Mexican, three dots and a dash for drinks, the Bedford for dinner - 10 min outside the loop but well worth the Uber

Chicago athletic association is also cool. Iwan Ries also if you like cigars. BYOB cigar lounge that looks like an old speakeasy and has impeccable staff. Got grandfathered in. ancient but legendary place.

Take a long walk on the lakeshore it's amazing now

Surprised it has not yet been said, but Lou Malnati's is a MUST.

Pequod's > Lou Malnati's > Giordano's

Pequod's is like 30 min outside the loop tho

Thanks all for the suggestions and @EY1 I'm a girl 🙄

23, male, hang with ya boy
