Hi everyone,

I'm visiting a friend in Chicago for a week in July. Since she still has to work while I visit, I need to find touristy things to do during the day. Since it looked like it has been a year since this question was asked, I figured it would be fine to ask again.

What are some historic neighborhoods, neat CTA/train infrastructure, or places for Chicago-specific food items that you'd recommend?

While I've done some research online, I'm really interested in what people who live in Chicago think is worth seeing. I'd also love to hear what things locals do that aren't necessarily tourist-focused, but you feel aren't common elsewhere.

Thanks!
