I love Chicago. As a loyal NY'er, I can actually say that Chicago is the only other city I'd like to live in. I thought it was going to be frumpy or unsophisticated, but it's just like a nicer, cleaner NY. The people are definitely more polite but they still have that cosmopolitan edge. I stayed at the Palmer House Hilton, which is worth walking through, just because it's gorgeous. Also you'll probably like the Peggy Noterbart (spelling?) nature museum. They have a tremendous butterfly exibit. One of my best friends got married there. It's also the scene of one of the worst IBS attacks I ever had (before I'd even heard of IBS!). Anyway I'm sure you'll have a great time!
