I am going to Chicago to accompany my husband who is attending and presenting at the AACR annual conference! Any suggestions of places a tourist should visit? I'll check wikipedia and google but there is nothing like suggestions from YOU! :-)
I definitely suggest you check out an awesome facebook page called Humans of New York (along with mine obviously). What Brandon Stanton, the author of HONY does is walks around New York and captures moments of cooky, the crazy, the fashionable, the religious, the old, the young, and of course the unique characters of New York that make the city so special. Pittsburgh has one too (click here) but frankly it doesn't hold a candle to HONY :-(.

What area are you going to? The Shedd Aquarium is amazing, and the river front on general had so many cool things to do! I have a lot of family in chicago so I've spent plenty of time there!! :) There are some great restaurants too if your interested.
ReplyDeleteI am staying in the downtown area! Yes! Please recommend some places to eat (LOVE dairy but meat places end up being more elegant?!) The Shedd Aquarium sounds like a great day trip! Thanks for the recommendations!
