be careful when/where you take the subway. it can be pretty sketch sometimes. for example, going from downtown north to evanston at 9pm on sunday night

south side of chicago is pretty friggin ghetto (but i'm sure you knew that) definite no go zone IMHO.

What he said.^^^

I was there about a month ago. Rush Street has a large assortment of restaurants. There is also nice beach north of the pier.
