I would try to use the trains as much as you can. From downtown you can get to almost every neighborhood by train, it's very easy. The loop is like a circle with all the trains and then they go out to each neighborhood in spokes. It's like 2.50 a ride now I think so definitely cheaper than a Lyft to anywhere especially from downtown.
I have some hyper local suggestions for tonight, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday but I would want to DM you about them because they are so hyper local I'm basically outing exactly where I live to give them haha. But they're all amazing so I want to share them. I guess if anyone is in the Chicagoland area and is curious about some cool shit to do dm me if you're interested in any of these:
My Monday suggestion is a hyper local art/dance festival thing happening tonight.
My Thursday suggestion is a hyper local culture and food festival.
My Friday suggestion is a very weird but very good experimental theater thing. Not that local it's well known enough but still not something a tourist would ever do.
My Saturday suggestion is a free leftist hyper local variety show inside of a historical theater. It's amazing but you are expected to buy drinks.
Anyway if you got questions or need anything while you're here drop me a line.
That is great to know about the trains, thanks for the tip. And just sent you a dm!
