The art institute is awesome. Have the polakami take you out for some polska potrawa. There's some awesome theatre. I personally recommend anything by the Lifeline Theatre. They do lots of literary interpretations. The Shedd Aquarium is awesome. All the museums have free days. Best bar in town: Weed's. http://chicago.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/bar/weeds-old-town/137035/content

Zywiec is DA BOMB! But if you go to the right places, you can find my favorite piwo: Lech.
