Doesn't matter, go there to pay respect to the greatest basketball team on the planet
I'd go there just to see where the Bulls play

it's not all that exciting...and they keep the jordan statue behind gates so you can't walk up to it unless the UC is open for an event.

CP218430

Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville area

Check out a steak house

Check out our deep dish pizza - Lou Malnati's, Pequoids or Gino's East.

Millennium Park

The Art Institute (very close to Grant Park and Millennium Park)

Rent a bike and ride the lake front (it can be very congested but it's gorgeous) or if you're a runner, take a run along the front

until you drive in it and meet the tax man or any of the other corrupt public servants.

Get a hot dog from somewhere good in the city. If you ask someone they should be able to tell you where the best one is in the area or neighborhood you're in.

Pequods Pizza is one of my favorite in the city, but everyone has their own opinion.

I'm a Sox fan, but if the Cubs are at home, it's worth going to a game at Wrigley to enjoy the atmosphere and surrounding neighborhood.

Go to Oak Street or North Avenue Beach and enjoy the scenery. Skyline and women.

Go to Taylor Street and get an Italian Ice from Mario's.

About a million bars to pass all the time between everything else.

There's no better time to be in Chicago than in the summer. Have a great time and enjoy your stay.

Lincoln Hall is the best music venue in the city...check out a gig

iamica

Lots of cool spots to go:
Michigan Avenue
Take a walk down Lake Shore Drive
Navy Pier
The Lincoln Park Zoo (free admission)
Sears Tower (I refuse to call it "Willis Tower") or John Hancock building
Grant Park
Wrigleyville
Chinatown
Definitely hit up a Chicago style pizza place like Giordano's, there's also a ton of little local spots that are pretty good
The downtown area/Magnificent Mile has a lot in terms of touristy stuff, but the whole city is cool, really.

iamica

Oh, and you should look into getting one of these, it has a detailed map of every neighborhood in the city:
