Tips from Laura and Dan
1. Take the train! It might take a little longer than driving, but (for us) fare is cheaper than gas, no security crap, and no parking fees in the city.
2. Stay in the theatre district. We recommend the Hotel Allegro. Close to entertainment, shopping, lots of good food and CTA train stations. Excellent service, Good neighborhood too.
3. Be prepared to walk. You can't really experience the Magnificent Mile by bus, nor get up close to Lake Michigan from the train. Plus, if you need a CVS/Walgreens/Starbucks/Macys it will be at least a block from where you are.
4. Bring it with you! See #1 - trains let you carry more baggage. If you forget anything you can definitely buy it, but be prepared for sticker shock.
5. Buy a City Pass. We only used the Aquarium, Planetarium, Observatory and Field Museum tickets, and figured we saved enough $$ for all of our train fares, plus several Starbucks visits.
