Stuffed Pizza like you've never had before. One small pie is more than enough for 2 people! Yum!

Give yourself a few hours to explore all the wonderful art here!
6. Museum of Science and Industry

Great for kids and adults alike. Got to see a chick hatch which was just amazing! At least 3 hours is necessary to cover this great museum.
7. Chicago Chop House
Chicago Chop House, Chicago, Illinois
The prime rib and filet here are beyond words! Cute clubby atmosphere. Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream is a must for dessert - save room!
8. Excalibur Nightclub
Excalibur Nightclub, Chicago, Illinois
Slightly younger crowd (we're 33 and 35) but still a fun place to shake your thang!
9. The Signature Room at the John Hancock Building

Skip the observatory and have an $11 cocktail for the best views in the city!
10. West Egg Cafe
West Egg Cafe, Chicago, Illinois
Too many choices to pick from but a great breakfast before a long day of sightseeing. Huevos Rancheros were super yummy. Do yourself a favor and skip the expensive hotel breakfast and go where the locals go!
11. Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe
Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe, Chicago, Illinois
Worth stopping in for some truffles!
