I will be traveling to Chicago at the end of this month to join my husband for our 5-year anniversary. We'll be there Friday, Saturday, and 1/2 of Sunday. Can you suggest a great hotel with a view, a nice restaurant, or anything else we must experience while we are there? Thank you!!!!
Oh HAVE FUN!!!!
Navy Pier, Gino's Pizza, shopping on the Magnificient Mile,
We also went to Excaliber night club and had a blast.
You have to go to dinner at Joe's Seafood Steakhouse and Stone Crab. It's amazing.
You can also go walk around the 96th floor of the John Hancock building. It's a great view and there's also a place you can have brunch there.

There are also a lot of neat museums there, so take your pick. :) Also, Harry Caray's Restaurant is kinda neat and I'm sure your hubby would enjoy it since it's all about baseball.
Good luck planning and have a wonderful time! Chicago is so much fun!
My mom, sis, and aunts did a girls trip last year to Chicago! We stayed at the Palmer House Hilton. It is beautiful! We went to an Oprah tapping at Harpo studio. I would also recommend Gino's pizza!! Have fun!
OMG!!! I am from Chicago and love the romantic venues that are there.
Dinning: Italian Village or Little Italy Village
Drinks: Bar in the Sears Tower so romantic at night!
Around town: Horse Carriage pick up at water tower on Michigan Ave.
If you must have pizza: skip Uno's - GO Giordanno's!!
Wanna get out of downtown: Get on the metra and go to Ravinia in Highland Park experience outdoor concert and you can bring/buy fruit,cheese, wine etc. They rent chairs and sell goodies there too! Imagine candles all around from people's little picnic set ups! OMG
Low budget: Walk to the Lake Michigan beach front and enjoy wine and straberries on a blanket. Navy Pier ferris wheel a must!
Night life: I would ask the doorman or the concierge because in a big city things are hot one day and are a dud the next!
Hope you have a blast!!!
