- Clothes shopping - both in the main american stores in the centre, and the more alternative (but less strange than London) stores around Milwaukee/Division
- Generally observe the people, the architecture,
- Money to spend - Chicago is after all a major city in an economic super-power. Food, because of tax and tipping, is same price as in London. Clothes and transport are cheaper because of the good exchange rate.
- Do Division, or another of the summer street festivals that start in the first weekend in June
And things I didn't get to do but by all accounts are worthwhile
- Going around by bicycle
- A proper brunch in a recommended place
- A dip in the lake
- Jazz and blues clubs
- Free open-air concerts
- Try the local beers - this is a quite "hoppy" one (I had a taste) that is usually served with a slice of orange that you squeeze into the beer before drinking. I tried it before the orange squirt.
