Chicago

[anto1208]

Just looking at going to the states and saw flights from shannon to Chicago for about 500 euro.

Has anyone been is it worth going or if im going to the USA am i better off hitting a better spot. is there a reason why its the cheapest location.

it depends what yer into, but if yer going on yer own then im not so sure, if its a group of lads its a definite.

There is a good bit to do there as well, depending on when you go you could get to see a bears game, or sox/cubs game or even hockey game. There is also teh chicago institute of art, which even if you're not into art is worth seeing, plus there are some other museums worth going to as well.

Personally, I love the place, but its horses for coarses as the man says.

btw when did ye see those flights for?

good food deffo, loads of nice eateries, though stay away from the pub/bar food type places cos its all grilled sh1te that ye get sick of after a....day. Having said that Fados is just worth a trip alone for their spicy wings, they have big chickens in chicago.....

Theres some great shops there though with decently-priced clothes, some expensive but good gear, but theres always filenes bargain basement......

There is a great outlet store as well outside in wisconsin well worth a visit, a great tommy store real cheap and some good donna karan for the missus.

Ordinarily I'd say its a better spot for a few lads on a weeks trip, but for what ye want then its definitely got it, though maybe san fran might be more relaxing....

If you're here on September 10th I hope you'll consider coming down to the south side and supporting Trinidad and Tobago with me against the ***** who are the US national team and its supporters
