Chi-Town, what’s goin’ on?

Is there something I absolutely must see or do when I’m in Chicago from Thursday to next Monday? A place to eat and drink? A nice backdrop for some photos? Local haunts that shun tourists?
Please let me know, because listening to Kanye West songs is not enough.

My favorite things to do in Chicago:
1. Hang out in Millennium Park - especially near the bean and the waterfall. That’s tops for me, especially in the summer. And it looks like there are free concerts @ noon (daily).
2. Eat @ Ed Debevick’s. Okay, I’m massacring this spelling, I think. But it’s kind of a fun place, if memory serves me.
3. I really want to go see the Harry Potter exhibit @ the Museum of Science and Industry. It looks like you can see it on IMAX there, too. But all of the major museums are fun - and so conveniently located, pretty much all in a row…
4. The DuSable Museum of African American History and the National Museum of Mexican Art are both cool. A little off the beaten path, but lots of fun. Especially the second.
5. Also, Home Run Inn pizza is divine. Not in the box. At the restaurant.
Have fun!
a fav blog of mine: http://lifeinla.typepad.com/chicago/ - might help you out too. Hope you have a great time.
The Second City.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m definitely checking out the Museum of Science and Industry, Navy Pier, one of the beaches, the el, and whatever else I stumble on. Pictures and tales of misadventures to come!
