Wicker Park fest is definitely worth going to. I forgot it is this coming weekend but I'll most likely be down there for part of it.
Try to go to the Signature Room bar at the Hancock building, it's free as opposed to the observatory - you can have a drink and enjoy the incredible view.

I wish Hot Dougs weren't so out of the way; it's a bit out there if you're downtown. But they have the best sausage/hot dogs that you will ever have in your life, and fries cooked in rendered duck fat!
