So I'm going to wrigley for the Aug 1-3 series and likely stopping in West Tennessee on the way back (driving) for a Suns game. Plans may also include kauffman.

 

My question is outside of the obvious which are Sears Tower, the pier, Harry Carry's, and White Castle does anyone have any must see places?

 

Also does anyone know of any affordable hotels (70 and under) around the suburbs that are decent?

 

Thanks!

 

 

My father-in-law's family is from Chicago. Their advice, apparently, is "don't be in the city at night."

 

 

Chicago is the best... such a great city. So many things to do that it's hard to say what you should do in a 2 day period. First time there? 

 

 

I've always heard you don't want to be in Chicago once it gets dark. It's a very dangerous place at night. Be safe. Definitely get some Chicago deep dish pizza, that's a must. 

 

 

It can't be that bad at night surely unless you're wandering into the wrong neighbourhoods while obviously looking like a tourist?

Maybe he likes to wear a fanny-pack

 

 

Try and sit in the Bartman seat.  Don't know the row and seat off hand but it's easy to find.

Aisle 4, Row 8, Seat 113.

 

 

Sit in the Bartman seat wearing an 03 black Marlins jersey and take a pic and post it on here.

That's way too specific of a request, material for your spank bank?

Many people on here would spank it to a man wearing a Marlins jersey in the Bartman seat whether they admit it or not.

Forget the suburbs.. stay down town. Whenever my friends and I would go on group trips, we would stay at this little tiny hotel called Ohio House. It's the size of a shoebox but who cares, you're in downtown Chicago.. it's clean, smack dab downtown, has free parking and is only like $100. Next door to some great bars and a block away from Gino's East River North. Been a few years since I've stayed there so prices probably went up but am guessing still extremely cheap for downtown. 

 

Most of my time now is spent in the Logan Square and Bucktown neighborhoods.. awesome area. If you're in that area, let me know and I can give you some recommendations. 

 

 

Spend the money and stay in river north. Go to Lou Malnati's pizza no matter what you have to do!!!
