Default Visiting Chicago for the second time ever this weekend....

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!

Default updated...

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.

Default I'm having a hard time with this. You came to Chicago, a city with so much to offer

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