I'm going to college here (I'm in the loop!) and for those that are out there, what is there to do in the city? It's my first time in the area itself, and I'm really unfamiliar with it.

you can go to a speakeasy and get shot by blowhard beat cops looking to get in a little trigger time.

Or you could go to the aquarium. My sister said it was pretty cool.

Get a Chicago hot dog, an italian beef sandwich, and a gyros sandwich.

(delicious as hell)

Go to a live music show at any of all the great venues in the city (the Metro, Schubas, etc...)

The CTA can get you pretty much anywhere, and they have useful online resources (like a bus-tracker) that will let you plan a route and leave at the right time
(avoid cubs and sox games traffic on the Red Line if you can though, D: )

Take advantage of the lakefront parks, they're expansive and beautiful

If you like coffee, go to Intelligentsia, it's amazing.

Are you at Columbia or Roosevelt?

Well, I heard there was a ODST beta in Chicago...sometime...
and there's the H-Mart near chicago, where you can buy all the asian food and such you need.

They have live Crabs that you can cook, but i rather enjoy fighting them against friends.

Buy an authentic deep-dish pizza, and then airmail it to me. Please. Thanks.
