Tourists: Visit the major
attractions in the loop. Use a standard Chicago guidebook, maybe
take the site seeing trolley. Chicago can be visited in winter,
but is best toured in warmer times. Visit the novelty restaurant cluster near Clark and Grand. Visit the John Hancock and the
Water Tower. See some of the museums, especially the Field or
Science and Industry, and the Contemporary Art or Art Institute.
If you are from a smaller town and like action, go to a major
dance club.
