My kid(the 20yo Florida boy that has never been north of Tennessee)is flying out in the morning. 5 days. He’s going to meet his old high school crush(her request). She is smoking hot and he is going to be overwhelmed with the shock of a big city. I’m not one to worry but , well… I guess I am just a little.

Get a Chicago dog for one! He already mentioned that was on his list. His girl is a vegetarian, he said she would just have to deal with that.

20 years old kind of limits what he can do. 21 is the minimum age to get into many venues

There are great museums in Chicago. The art institute is close to the Field Museum?

Navy Pier has a lot to do. That may be a good day trip.

I lived there for a bit and loved it! Lots of very good food just keep it to the mom & pops placements. Chicago dogs and other Chicago style sandwiches are a MUST. Do a deep dish pizza. Their play theatres used to be top notch. Check it out. Catch a Cubbies game, lots of history there. There used to be a restaurant there (very close to Wrigley Field) that would serve burgers of all size up to a 2 lb giant and the lists go on...

Go see a baseball game, then a deep dish Chicago pizza… Day game at Wrigley field. Then try some of that deep dish pizza and realize how Chicago ruined pizza.

Any parts of town to avoid? They are going to be taking trains and cabs.
