Check out: http://caf.architecture.org/Page.aspx?pid=183 for architecture tours. Green Zebra is one of the best vegetarian restaurants going. If you go to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Seminary Co-Op Bookstore is only a few blocks away. Among the best book stores for scholarly tomes anywhere: http://www.semcoop.com/ (it is in a University of Chicago building, after all - although not affiliated with the UofC) Boulevard Bike is great. Owner Kevin is a great guy. Loves bike and knows a lot. His employees have all been around for a while. Intelligentsia coffee has two outlets downtown - Randolph and Michigan (across from millenium park) and Jackson and Dearborn (in the marvelous Monadnock building - 100 year old but as cool and modern as anything made this century) On May 3, 5:58 pm, Gino Zahnd <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks - > > What should I not miss in Chicago?
