What are some good places to visit in Chicago?

Q. My sister and I are planning on going to Chicago for the week of the fourth of July. What are some fun, interesting, and relatively inexpensive places to go? Is there an Off-Broadway kind of thing in Chicago? What are some good places to eat? Are there any cheap hotels that aren't full of crack-heads?

If you're going to make some suggestions, keep in mind that my sister and I are 18 and 25, respectively. That puts some limits on what we can do.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :]

A. Why donât you check out-
Navy Pier
Sears Tower
Chicago style pizza like Gino's East, Lou Malnati's or Giordanoâs
Millennium Park

What is the best hotel around Chicago?

Q. I am looking to stay at a hotel in Chicago NEAREST to their navy base in great lakes. I am trying to visit my boyfriend for when he graduates and I'd like the cheapest or nearest place possible. And if I do decide to stay there, is Chicago a good city to get my hotel, or is there a city closer?

A. I don't think you're ready for the BIG CITY. The naval base is in North Chicago. It is not a part of the city of Chicago. In fact it is about 37 miles from downtown Chicago. Below are some hotels near the training center:

Cheap Chicago hotels with public transportation available?

Q. Need help fast! I'm going to Chicago today and I found out that the hotel we reserved doesn't have any public transportation around. We're looking for a very cheap hotel (under $80 per night) and has bus stops or train stations around. Any suggestions?

A. Have you tried Priceline? Any hotel on the loop or North Michigan Ave will have public transportation within a block.
