It's not 9 inches thick!
More like 3 inch thick. AND STUFFED FULL OF AWESOME.
The Field Museum has a Natural Disasters and Mythological Creatures exhibit going on that are pretty sweet.
Check out Navy Pier, the Sears Tower, and the Hancock Building.
Buy a CTA 3 or 7 day pass.
Shit is expensive here; plan on at least $10 per meal.
Goose Island is fun. So is Wrigleyville.

I know of two really good independent cafe-style places to eat within walking distance of my house. There's Bridgeport Coffee Company which has really good coffee and sandwiches, and there's Zhou B. Cafe which is an Italian place with an art gallery but it's Chinese owned (thus the name). Zhou B. is very cheap, you can get a (big ol') sandwich and cup of coffee for around six or seven dollars, and it's almost always near-empty. BCH is more expensive and has fewer places to sit, but it also has outdoor seating and free wireless. The two or three guys I see working at Zhou spend most of their time watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the people at BCH play a lot of Beatles and a few others.
Both are very good.
As far as deep dish I think Ricobenes or Giordano's is the way to go, but they are a little expensive!

I think all of these look fantastic. I would also like to put forward the suggestion that we go get excellent chinese food in Chinatown, and if you don't want to go with me I will call up old friends from NU and go without you instead. I love Chinatown, and if we are staying on the south side of the city, then it isn't that far on the eL.
