It'll my first time ever visiting. I'll be there for a weekend and I'm looking forward to checking out the city. Any recommendations on where to visit CD? I'm a 20 something yr old woman who enjoys all things art, I'm a bit of a foodie and LOVE live music, lounges, bars, and wine tastings. I want to really explore the city.

No doubt you'll visit here... The Art Institute of Chicago but if I were you I'd make it a point to get here... Museum of Contemporary Art as well. Personally I like the MCA better than the AIC.

For lounges/live music you really can't beat these two famous jazz clubs... Green Mill Cocktail Lounge
AND the velvet lounge... fred anderson's home for chicago jazz

Green Mill was famous as one of Al Capones hangouts during his time.

I would tone down the excitement levels, this is not Disneyworld

Don't you live in Crystal Lake or something? Chicago is like Disney World to you.
