art museum, science and industry, field museum (natural history), planetarium, lincoln park zoo, brookfield zoo.

bennigans across from art museum is nice pub.

the artmuseum also has some really nice architectural displays including artifacts from demoed flw and louis sullivan buildings.

actually i have never really eaten anyplace downtown that was bad.

the architectural boat tour is good i hear but as yet have not done it. (kindof unbelievably actually)

across the street and a little south of the art museum is the architectural society's store which has books and frank lloyd wright and louis sullivan stuff among other things. and when i was there a week or so back there was a nifty display in the atrium of the building of flw tall building drawings and artifacts.

chicago is one of my favorite big cities.
