A Chicago vacation

Dear fellow ET members,

I'm travelling to Chicago to celebrate New Years and i was wondering if anybody could recommend any tourist attractions/nightclubs?

I'll be arriving on the 30th and staying till the 2nd.

Please let me know

Thank you in advance.

Agree with Pabst, not a ton of clubs and I generally stay out of those places so can't help you there. For bars I would recommend: McFadden's on State and Division, PJ Clarkes on the same street, Tavern on Rush if you feel like dressing up and paying a little too much for whatever you get (but unbelievable women, many enhanced by the fine art of plastic surgery). If you want younger women (under 30) I would go to Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville and check out places like: Duffys, Grand Central, John Barleycorn. If you want pure insanity go no further than every single bar located on Division Street between Dearborn and State. Have fun.

You're just due west from Navy Pier. That place defines touristy. It's worth checking out except in this weather I'd be cabbing anything longer than a few blocks.:)

I would definitely make sure I spent a day checking out the floor of the merc or the cbot if you have not already done that.

For me that was a career altering experience. (at the time)

not really - some of the ones I mentioned cater to younger crowds.
