I'm heading to Chicago this afternoon/evening for the jewish holiday of Passover. Which basically consists of eating dinner at my grandma's place in Hyde Park.

Theoretically I could just drive the 2.5-ish hours there, eat dinner and hang out for a while, then drive home.

I have also been given an invitation to spend the night. The thing is unless I go out it would be imminently boring because my grandma has like, no cable tv, no internet, and the last time I visited her I couldn't even find a good wifi signal to leech off of someone else.

That leaves me with the alternative means of having a decent evening: going out on the town. I figure Chicago's a pretty decent place to get a drink, right? Now I don't exactly know anyone who lives in Chicago, so um, got any suggestions?

Just to give you an idea of where I'll be starting out from: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1640+e...0.314500&hl=en
