| Hey there, I'm coming to chicago for paul van dyk. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some must-do's there. From dining to shopping, to clubbing.. whatever. Doesnt' even have to do with EDM even, as far as clubs go. Just wanted some insight on what goes down in the windy city. |

Depends on what floats your boat?
We have the museums, Navy Pier, ESPN Zone, zoo's and such. (non EDM) and so much club wise and food wise here as well. What are your interests?? |

Okay...
Good sushi joint:
Kamehachi
1400 N. Wells St., Chicago
312-664-3663
It's a nice little joint in Old Town (which is a very romantic place to go for a walk, if you're going with your girlfriend) (I live over in this area). It's BYOB too, in case you're gonna be doing any drinking for dinner.
In terms of lounges with Electronic/Dance Music, I like Blu up in Lincoln Park. If you get there before mid-night, the front bar area plays a pretty decent selection of electronic music. At midnight when the open up the back half of the club, there's a wonderful dance floor and two more bars but the music tends to become a little electro-hip-hop-rap-ish, but still dancable.
Blu
2247 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago
773-549-5884
Also, while you're in Lincoln Park at Blu, there are about a million and a half bars around that area full of college aged kids (it's the heart of the DePaul Lincoln Park Campus). You could easily just go to Blu and if you're not digging it, just walk out and walk down the street and find another place to go.
And in terms of other Chicago only stuff, check out the top of the Sears Tower. High building, can see Wisconsin on a clear day!
Very romantic: The Signature Room on the 95th floor of the John Hanbuilding. It's a bar, but it's a swank joint to go and gives you a gorgeous and romantic view of the city (I've always wanted to film up there, but it's impossible too!) Go at night!
Just go shopping on the Magnificent Mile. It's all about Michigan Ave Shopping!!! Be warned though, it's might easy to spend a lot of dough on that strip of road, and everything closes at like 7:00 or 8:00.
If you're looking for a decent place to catch some lunch while shopping, I suggest eating at the Cheesecake Factory in the lower part of the John HanBuilding.
Hope you have a fun time in Chicago, and hope you have a blast at PvD. I'll be there having the time of my life. |
