If you like books, 57th Street Books. If you love books, the Seminary Bookstore. I'm trying to think of that place on Lincoln that has dinners from all sorts of different meats (elk, bear, bison, etc.), can't come up with it now - looks like a Wisconsin cabin on the inside, too. If you brought your Trek, the Lakefront Path is right. Freaking. There. And tonight was Critical Mass. You probably have a stocked itinerary, so I won't throw out 50 Chicago suggestions.
So many great Restaurants in Hyde Park, #1 grab at least 3 friends, go out early for drinks, #2 switch venues for dinner, then #3 hit Trader Vic's (yeah, trendy, -but classic!) get a low lounge table by the bar, partly hidden by the palm trees, each have a Mai-Tai, then get one of those "served-in-a-trough-for-6-persons" drinks, and if you don't have the time of your life, well, don't go back to Chicago. OK, my folks were natives too, (Tinley Park & Markham)so I have go back for a good slosh now & then. #4 Never, ever, live in Mordor.
