I recommend their Real American Hot Dogs! Omg and their beef is to die for. It's small but a perfect hangout. It reminds you of one of those o'l restaurants from the 40's or 50's

Arts & Culture
Head down to Pilsen for a stunning collection of Mexican art from the 1800s-present. I especially love the seasonal Day of the Dead collection that celebrates the art & the uniquely Mexican holiday

The exhibits are astounding and almost everything is interactive. There are tesla coil shows every half hour, an interactive smoke tornado, and all of the exhibits are well explained without being excessively science-y or long winded. It's a great place to spend a few hours or a whole day, and great for adults and children alike. Their hours could be longer or later, but if you have a day off, it's well worth going.

The shows are the best part of the planetarium. That is not to say that the exhibits aren't, they are pretty interesting as well. The place is very kid-friendly in its presentation and use of interactive tools. You may find yourself going from show to show while filing the time between in the planetary or telescope exhibits. The building itself has great views of the lake and the skyline.

Garfield Park Conservatory is an amazing place. The greenhouse is full of beautiful and well-kept plants. Admission is free, so that isn't an excuse not to come. It is very serene to walk through the six main rooms of the greenhouse and explore the outdoor gardens, such as the Monet garden. Each garden has its own theme from palm to cacti to houseplant to fern.
