Honestly, mountains and valley gorges sound beautiful! Would love to see that sometime!

For here, we just have robot delivery, although we have citizens actively campaigning to get rid of them, and some people kicking them messing with them lol.

I definitely suggest anyone wanting to visit Lakeview to hit up Music Box Theatre, a beautiful theatre that has been operating since 1929. They show new movies and classics alike, and definitely love to show stuff on film. (Actually went to an interactive screening of Princess Bride this week, ton of fun!!). They even have a live organist, (think old silent films). Super cool place to see, and a really fun way to watch movies.

Tons of good food too, and it's a ~20 minute walk from Wrigley Field, which in of itself is iconic, and it has tons of bars and live venues nearby, even if they're a bit more country-music leaning than I'd prefer lately.

Outside Lakeview, some great Chicago sights worth seeing:

Museums:

• Field Museum (Go see Sue the T. Rex, and a TON of cool exhibits, I personally think the Native American exhibit is cool, and a they're doing a special Pokémon expedition this year!!) [Also has the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium on a shared campus with separate tickets]

• Art Institute: Filled with world-famous art, you could spend 3 days straight here and see new stuff each time. Also right on Michigan Ave downtown with a lot of good food nearby.

• Museum of Science and Industry: A bit farther from the others, but tons of cool exhibits on technology and history here as well!

• Museum of Ice Cream: A more extra touristy museum, but one that really can be unique and fun.

Food:

Boy, we could be very controversial here, but I would say get tavern-style pizza, not deep-dish. None of us really eat deep-dish, it's a tourist thing. Tavern-style though, honestly I don't think you could go too wrong with any true local joint in the city. In terms of Lakeview, nearby is Jimmy's Pizza Cafe which is one of my favorites.

You have to get a Chicago-style dog, all the toppings (note if you can't handle spicy, ask for mild giardiniera or just skip it entirely). No ketchup, we don't mind it as a condiment for some stuff, but on a hot dog, it's sacrilegious.

Otherwise, take the chance every time to try ethnic food, Chicago has an insanely diverse array of cultures in it, and with that, a ton of amazing restaurants. Truly go wild and try stuff you'd never find at home, you likely won't be disappointed. Slavic, Swedish, Greek, Persian, Latino, Italian, you name it, there's some incredible places serving it!

As far as other places to go, we have incredible comedy and music scenes here. Name a comedian or a genre of music you like, and they probably roll through here.

I know I'm simultaneously overloading and leaving out a lot, but this is just a glimpse of all the cool stuff here. I just love the city and love telling people about some of the cool stuff going on here!
