If you\u2019re thinking of booking a flight anytime soon, here are some tips on what to see, eat and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO SEE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buckingham Fountain<\/em>. It\u2019s a popular tourist spot so it might get crowded, but you can\u2019t miss the pink marble and the hourly shows in the summer.<\/p>\n

Navy Pier<\/em>, located in the Streeterville neighborhood. Every Monday until Aug. 20th at 7pm there\u2019s a free outdoor movie at the Polk Bros Park stage. There are also free DJ sets every Saturday of summer, from 2-4 pm playing funk, hip-hop, or electronic music.<\/p>\n

For hours and info to these events: https:\/\/navypier.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Only feel like staying at home strapped to your AC during those hot summer months? <\/em><\/p>\n

The city is filled with activities for colder weather. <\/em>Like the ice rink at Maggie Daley Park that weaves through the downtown area. It\u2019s even more beautiful at night, when the city lights illuminate the rink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

EAT<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you visit Chicago, you can\u2019t leave without having tried a slice (or two) of deep dish pizza. Try Pequod\u2019s<\/em>; the lines may be long, but the caramelized crust and custom toppings are worth it.<\/p>\n

Or try a Chicago-style hot dog. It has it all; a poppy seed bun, yellow mustard, chopped onions, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle, tomato slices, pickled peppers and celery salt. But NEVER, EVER ask for ketchup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

DRINK<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a laid-back vibe and signature drinks stop at Emporium Bar<\/em>. A combination of the best arcade games of the last 30 years; air hockey, Defender, Ghostbusters pinball, to name a few. Call ahead to any of its four locations to see what specials they\u2019re having that day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And if you think mixing alcohol with ping-pong is a good idea, visit AceBounce<\/em>. \u00a0Equipped with 16 ping pong tables, food and drink. It is encouraged that you call ahead for a reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
