OT: classy things to do in chicago???

[bpoppapumpp]

i'm wondering if any of you bros can help me out. i'm meeting a girl i've been friends with online, for the first time, this fri. in chicago. she lives a few hrs from there and i've never been out that way. so, can anyone help point me in the right direction for cool things to do up there. i'm into more ritzy places. i want to find some nice places to dine and i'd like to find a nice dueling piano bar, and other things like that. any help would be greatly appreciated guys and girls.

if it's any help, i'll be stayin at a hotel near ohare airport, and "L" train access to downtown is nearby.

Try to get into Tru. A little short on notice, but they might have something open.

Failing that, the dining room at the Ritz Carlton is a good bet, as is Naha.

I'm sure there are dozens of other places, but we've been to these three, they came highly recommended by friends, and we weren't disappointed.

Go on one of these online restaurant reservations sites for chicago and see what they recomend.

Another cool idea is just take her for sushi, its not expensive, its fun,

Umm what did you have in mind for dinner? If you like Sushi there are a couple of places:Sushi Samba Rio,Kamehachi. If you are not into that then there is the Blue Water Grill downtown by the River, I recommend the Filet Mignon there, it was excellent. but if you were wanting some atmosphere I like Narcisse, reserve a private table downstairs and a bottle of champagne, it was a nice intimate dining expirience with Strongmind (my GF on here).

As Far as Upscale lounges I recommend The Whiskey at Sutton Place hotel, and Whisky Sky at the top of the W on Lakeshore, both awsome places and good music.

I hope this helps, get on AOL cityguide and they will have directions for all these restaurants and lots of choices for others as well...
