@thom dress warm. lol. as a Chicagoan, I don't spend much time downtown (it's turned into a cesspool of crime). get out of the downtown area -- early and often. Bucktown, Wicker Park, Logan Square, etc.

Yep, Rosemont is not in Chicago, but near O'Hare, just northwest of the city.
The Loop is downtown. Millennium park is downtown, where the Bean is, etc. Lincoln Park zoo is nearby but not downtown.
Agree, with @ape_arms . Get out of downtown (mainly tourists and professional work places) -- get into a neighborhood. Bucktown/Wicker Park is the SOHO of Chicago. Logan Square is an emerging neighborhood (hipster central).
For music, Metro and Salt Shed

Well, as someone who lives and works here in Chicago, I would respectfully disagree. It's a shitshow downtown - - crime is rampant and police are not empowered to do anything about it for fear of legal retaliation, et. Just saying.
