My favorite thing in Chicago is to go to the Garrett Popcorn just north of Millennium Park, and walk to "The Bean!" Definitely a must-do when you're in Chi-Town.

Chicago is one of my very favorite cities. I live for the deep-dish pizza. I could eat my weight in it.

You can't go wrong with a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago or, if you’re looking for art of another nature, check out some comedy at The Second City.

Whenever I go to Chicago, I love visiting this bar called the Emporium in Wicker Park. They have an arcade and I'm a sucker for some pinball.

I highly recommend people check out a show at any number of the amazing blues clubs in Chi-town. I'm staying an extra day to just enjoy Chicago after LakeShake, so I definitely plan on soaking up some Blues while I'm there.

Everyone should definitely hit up Untitled Supper Club. It's a speakeasy with delicious food and decor that is lavish, moody, and beautiful.
