For my 26th birthday, Boyfriend and I went to Chicago with our friends the Schlosbergs. All three of them are from the Chicago area, but I've only visited the city a few times. Since I had Wednesday and Thursday off, we kept it simple and drove to the city instead of flying somewhere else.
Here's a picture diary of what we did.

Our hotel in the city
Our view from the hotel, next to the Rock N Roll McDonalds
First stop: Al's Italian beef
Order up!
Italian beef sandwich, the best sandwich in the Midwest according to Adam Richman
The Chicago river is still green from St Patrick's day
Water Tower

Boys taking shots of hot sauce in the mall
Yeah, there's a bar at the top of the tower
Matilda beer, Coffee with Baileys and Cointreau and Blackberry, Lemon Makers Mark sour
Our window wipers
You like dawgs?: Franks N Dawgs
Gourmet hot dogs comin' right up
You can browse their menu from an iPad, what?
Instead of a table number, you get a celebrity of shame
Our dawgs
Brunch dog: Pork loin dog, bacon, fried egg, and maple mayo
Krazy Kimchi: Spicy beef sausage, braised short ribs, kimchi, wild rice and basil
Mussels from Brussels: Smoked garlic sausage, crispy Brussel sprout leaves, pancetta, pickled carrots, onions, and mayo
