Chicago Recommendations

Located next to unhoused folks, this spot allows fans to watch the Bears play amidst the city's dirty, sooty infrastructure. Dealing with tackling dilapidated concrete support columns is the only challenge to figure out.

Try Long Room by the Irving Park Brown Line or Whirlaway Lounge in Logan Square. Just go and anywhere and hang out and have a nice time, it literally doesn't matter if you're in costume or not.

It's already been said 100 times but it was incredible. Located in the Uptown neighborhood, the Uptown Theater is a historic theater that offers a unique and emotional experience.

Make your way south and visit The Forum in Bronzeville. Live music, interesting exhibits and they are soft-opening their new cafe. Plenty of street parking, and enough space to avoid lines. You won't regret the trip!

The Uptown Theatre is a historic venue that has been closed for years, but it will be open to the public during the Open House Chicago event this weekend. One respondent expects the wait time to be long, but another person suggested going early on Saturday and trying the smaller spots first, as they tend to have less of a wait.

The SkyDeck is a great place to see the city's skyline illuminated in support of a good cause, specifically breast cancer awareness. Each year, the SkyDeck participates in the #LightUpMBC campaign, where the tower is lit up in pink, teal, and green lights to raise awareness for metastatic breast cancer.

Lyric Opera of Chicago presents Don Giovanni, a 2-act opera that lasts around 3.5 hours, including a 30-minute intermission. The performance includes projected subtitles for those who prefer to follow the original language.

L&L Tavern is a dive bar worth visiting for a cheap drink and a malort, a type of strong liquor. It's located near the Vic, making it an ideal spot to pregame before a show.

Choose the White Sox as your Chicago team, especially if you're on the South side. It's the obvious choice if you want to be part of a team with a dedicated fan base, and you can even root for them to set the worst record ever by a major league team!
