Purely 01/02/20 5:20:51 PM #3:	Right by O'Hare there's a really cool and unique pizza place called Barnaby's. Definitely check that out. You're also right near Rosemont which is the hot spot for bars and entertainment. Casino there too which is nice but very pricey. If you want to see what a really good strip club is like, check out Polekatz. Of course you have to go to Portillo's as well if you've never been there. I'd avoid going into the city. <cite>Purely posted [p:932376695] in Going to C... [t:78300959]...</cite> <quote>Right by O'Hare there's a really cool and unique pizza place called Barnaby's.

He's working a convention in Rosemont. All he's looking for is things to do at night. In that situation, it's not at all worth the slog and cost of going into the city. Anything in the city can be duplicated in the suburbs. For example, Kuma's Corner? That place is an awful anxiety-producing experience.
