TFS:Chicago shopping
basically, the magnificent mile (michigan avenue) is the big tourist and retail destination in the city. a huge swath of hipster shops are concentrated in Wicker Park (Damen stop on the Blue Line) and Lincoln Park or Lakeview (aka Wrigleyville home of the Chicago Cubs). you can get a chicago hot dog and weiner's circle 24hours a day on Clark south of Diversey in Lincoln Park.
if you and your husband want to go out to a concert or see a gallery opening or do random local activities--check out the listings at:
gaper's block
