I'm hauling ass to Chicago for next weekend and I'd love some recommendations for 1) awesome eats! 2) anything that a designer may be interested in and 3) cool and unique shops for threads and designy things that do nothing but look cool.
Bonus points for anything that combines all 3 in one place.

Search Chicago in PVN, not saying I won't offer suggestions but it seems like we do this tread once a month! :D
The best tip I ever suggest to people is to go have a drink at the Signature Room bar at the Hancock building. The bar is free to enter, and you can spend that $11 it would cost at the observatory on a drink - and it will be the coolest view you'll ever see from a bar.
Shopping:
Wicker Park area is good for urban, trendish stuff, stores like Untitled (where you can see a mural done by Nopattern on the wall) Akira, plently of other new and used stores.Restaurants:
What are you into? Seriously, there are 1,000 of everything here.BTW - Will you be here on Thursday the 1st? If yes I can suggest a band to see: mine.

STuffed pizza is only good the next day. The cheese needs to melt, be refrigerated, and then heated in the microwave to really be good.
the restaurants have not caught on, sadly. something about serving people microwaved food that doesn't go over well.

good concept for a restaurant!
MICRO-RAVE!
late night-early morning place where drunkards can get day old leftovers from good restaurants nuked! at a fraction of the cost!
MICRO-RAVE:
