The Field Museum is more than a storehouse for biological and historical items; it's a place to learn without feeling like you're being instructed. The exhibits are really well put together, from shoes to dinosaurs.
Be sure to see the King Tut exhibit, open through January 2007. Admission extra.
City Pass saves you 50% on regular admission.
A good trip for families, friends and, of course, school groups.

Nookies Tree became my usual spot for a late breakfast or lunch when I lived in the area. The menu has a little bit of everything, as well as some daily specials. I am a creature of habit, so I fell in love with the Turkey a la Normandy, a turkey burger with a ton of blue cheese crumbles and fresh spinach leaves. The sandwiches come with a cup of soup, or some other stuff that I never order, like fries. Nookies has salads and regular burgers, more typical sandwiches, as well as really good breakfasts. They usually have unique selections of pancakes or something in the comfort food category. The service is adequate, with a few bright spots here and there, but the place is usually quite busy, so I guess they do their best (I try to think the best of people, a problem, I know). Prices are reasonable, with a lunch or breakfast for two running around $20. Oh, and get the juice. It's fresh-squeezed, and really tasty.

The meat is delicious and so tender! I had the filet before, and the empanadas are great as an appetizer. I love that it's BYOB too.

I took my engagement ring and wedding band into Steve Quick Jeweler's to have it updated and redone. I was amazed by the level of service, Dana was exceptional in explaining different options and price points. By the time I left my ring with them I felt completely comfortable with my decision. They definitely under promise and over deliver - my ring was done earlier than had expected and was absolutely AMAZING. All of this at a very affordable price.
I would highly recommend Steve Quick Jeweler's!!
Pros: Excellent Quality, Reasonably Priced, Competent Staff
Cons: None that I experienced

If you need a massage, go to Anne! I first met her at the Old Town Salon 1800 (where I go for many services), but recently she started working at the Armitage location. My back was in so much pain, and Anne sat down with me to ask questions to figure out what was going on. The massage was really intense, but i walked out feeling like a new person! Now i go there every 3 weeks to see her. If you're in pain, go to see Anne! She'll fix you!
Pros: Best massage I've ever had
Cons: I wish I could get one every week!

Throughout the three years I have lived in Chicago, I have made appointments at countless salons but I have never been willing to commit myself to going back a second time. The problem is that I have naturally curly (frizzy) hair that I blow-dry and straighten every day. When I make appointments to get my hair done, I always dread the styling process because stylists usually rush through it and I have to go straight home to re-wash and re-style my hair before I can really see the work that was done on my hair. I have always felt that if I'm paying top dollar I should leave feeling good about my hair. I was so tired of feeling this way that I hadn't had a haircut in a year and I had resorted to coloring my hair myself. Naturally, when a friend recommended that I go to Mary at Salon Soca, I was skeptical.
From the moment I walked into the salon the staff were friendly and accommodating. Mary spent several hours with me, transforming my self-colored, over-processed, frizzy hair into silk. Not only did she take the time to deep condition my hair, but she also listened to me when I warned her that if not styled properly, it would get frizzy. I was amazed at the final result. My color was flawless, my cut was modern and exactly the length I had requested, and for the first time, I was actually excited to walk out of the salon to show off my hairstyle. I will definitely be back to see Mary again!

I moved to Chicago and few years and I have gone though a dozen or so chiropractors trying to get some pain relief from my T.M.J. Finely, this past summer I heard of Dr. Donahue at Chicago Spine and Sports though a co-worker. Dr. Donahue immediately made me feel at home and was able to relieve my T.M.J. pain. He even gave me exercises to help relieve the pain at home. I go to see him any time I have any bone, muscle or joint pain. I can't recommend him enough. Go see him if you have any aches or pains and I know you won't be sorry.
Pros: Beautiful facility and caring staff.
Cons: Dr. Donahue doesn't make house calls.

Roy's is a great place to go to get your furniture. They carry a great selection inside their large store of wood and other types of furniture at discounted prices. Everyone at work told me that I needed to go there, and they were right. And the store is family run so the staff is eager to help. They also have rooms laid out and a large selection of fabrics. Highly recommended.
