<p>So despite the fact that I've already sent the deposit, I've never actually been to Chicago :)
I'm going for the preview April 11-14, and I would like to know:</p>

<p>what's the best thing I could possibly do with my time in those four days, in your collective opinions?</p>

<p>(If it helps any, I enjoy classical music, theater, night clubs, museums, sensual intercourse, and good Greek food. Especially looking forward to the latter two.)</p>

<p>thoughts?</p>

<p>(I already decided to visit the Oriental Institute and take a dip in Lake Michigan)</p>

<p>u can take a dip? isn't it freezing? i like the distinction between sensual and sexual. lol.</p>

3

<p>go to the parthenon at 314 s halstead, greektown. if youre willing to pay like $30 you could go to the cso which always has great stuff.</p>

<p>cso and the art institute, definitely. if you like museums you'll love the art institute. i would also say chinatown is pretty fun! hmm i dunno how plausible going to see lake michigan would be, but at least you'll see it on lake shore drive.</p>
