Well let's hear it

-good places to eat

-good comic stores to go to

-awesome dive bars

-sight-seeing...whatever else you can think of

I am going into this absolutely cold turkey. Never been, and have no idea on the layout of the city. But I will be without car, if that matters at all.

Neither. My friend from back in Cali is going there for interviews/auditions (he is an actor/director). And I decided to tag along. My plan is to tell actress-girls I am a director so i can do them.

Yup.

What type of food do you like?

My favorite cajun place is Heaven on 7, on Wabash. My favorite thai place is Siam Rice, on Wells.

My favorite things to do in Chicago:

Bongo Room for breakfast (Roosevelt Red Line Stop)

Uncommon Ground for dinner (Addison Red Line stop)

Sheffields (Sheffield and School) for a nice bar.

the Rainbow (Damen and Division) for a dive bar

Piece for dinner (Damen and North)

Myopic used book store (Damen and North)

Go to the 96th floor of the John Hancock building and get a drink, enjoy the view. A little pricey but worth it.

Walk Michigan Ave downtown.

Art Institute

Go see the lake.

I'm sure I'll think of more.
