I need some advice to anyone that's been to Chicago

[pdaddyII]

I'm planning a weekend trip there for my gf's birthday in August. The place I wanted to book at isn't available for the dates I need. Does anyone recommend somewhere, and what would you recommend checking out while there? I will probably get a couple tickets to the Cubs vs Indians game while we're there.

Bor I live there.

The James Hotel is alright...right in the middle of everything. I also recommend the W, which is around the same area. What kind of you guys like to do?

You have to do the Sears tower; it's a must if you've never been there.

The Drake Hotel. QT can attest that the place rocks. The Magnificent Mile will be your if you stay there

Ahh, just the man I was looking for. I will check out these hotels. What do we like to do? Well, fine dining, theater, live music (not lollapalooza kthnx), sy bars etc...

Where is the 2nd city located?

2nd City is 5 minutes from downtown. For fine dining, look into Nine (steakhouse), Spiaggia (guido food), and C-House.
