I'm planning my to-do list when I get out there next month and want to run a few things by the locals . . .

As far as sights go, I plan on getting the Chicago City Pass and visiting the places. Seems like a good deal with top notch attractions. Any other deals similar to this that I should be aware of?

Food: I have three objectives; first, a good, cheap lunch near center city. Is Manny's Deli worth it? What are the best Italian Beef joints ?

Second, deep dish pizza. Lou Malnati's peaked my interest, so I'm thinking of giving them a shot.

Third, steak house. This is where I need some help. Wildfire, Morton's, and Gibson's seem like a popular, touristy choice (and expensive), but I'm looking for something a little less touristy with a bang for the buck.

I plan on getting a 3-day pass for CTA, which will take care of the travel. Is the el from Midway to Downtown straight forward ? (I remember having to go from O'Hare to the Loop and it was a pretty lousy experience.)

Thanks. The Chicago Italian Beef intrigues me... will have to get one of those as well.
