Any suggestions for things for Dad & kids to do and see in Chicago. Kids 11, 14, 18. Cool places to eat. Public transportation hints and interesting things happening the week of March 16-22. What venues should I be reserving now in order to beat the spring break crowds. Any advice would be appreciated.
