From September 1-6, I was in Chicago. I had been before a few times, but that was several years ago. This time, I got the chance to go to a game at both Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field. Wrigley Field was absolutely amazing. If you're a baseball fan, it's the place to be. It's definitely right up there with, if not better than, my beloved Fenway in Boston.
While in the Windy City, I also made it to the top of the Hancock Building, took a boat tour of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, walked around Millenium and Grant Parks, spent time at some good watering holes in Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park, and ate great food. Make sure to check out Ian's Pizza in Wrigleyville and Harry Caray's Restaurant in the River North area of downtown for good eats, whether you live in Chicago or are planning a visit. Also definitely give Goose Island beer a try--- their 312 Urban Wheat is really tasty.
I also got the chance to take a trip to Milwaukee for the day when I was there. It was my first time in Wisconsin. The Lakefront Brewery's Pumpkin Ale is definitely worth a try, and Miller Park (home of the Milwaukee Brewers) is also a great destination. It was only my second baseball stadium with a retractable roof, and it definitely beats my first which was the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
