Your next
stop is Metro Chicago, thronged by music-lovers for its impressive lineup of musical
talent from Chicago and across the world. The late night shows are one of the
top draws at Metro Chicago, which has launched some of the most famous names in
Rock, including the Smashing Pumpkins and Ministry.
For
riveting dance music, check out their Smart Bar which will keep your bod shaking
well into the morning. As a true blues fan, you wouldn't want your evening
to end before paying a tribute to Buddy Guy's Legends “the undisputed king of
Chicago 's electric blues scene”. Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend and the Saturday
Night Live Band have all played here at some point of time. The
walls are steeped in Blues history and memorabilia, which includes the Grammies
won by Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, rare photographs and guitars that once belonged
to legends such as BB King. Next, cab
it to N. State Parkway , where you will be greeted with a celebrity-steeped Hall
of Fame that leads to the legendary Pump Room at the Omni
Ambassador East Hotel . Head North
on nearby State Parkway to the Embassy
Suites Downtown , rubbing shoulders with the Magnificent Mile (a stretch of
N. Michigan Ave) - which brings you close to the best of shopping, dining and
nightlife in Chicago. While here, don't miss the Billy Goat Tavern, steeped in
the back-to-basics, no-nonsense attitude that marks Chicago . With just about
four items on it, the menu might not impress you at first glance. But sink your
teeth into the greasy "cheezeborger, cheezeborger" and try not to fall
in love with its irreverent charm. Make
way for another legend as you catch up with Chicago 's lively theater scene at
the Second City Theater in Old Town . The trademark irreverence is served up with
spirited humor - dished out by some of the greatest comedy actors. Theater buffs
can get their fix with exciting dramas, musicals and cabarets in the famed Theater
District. You can't shake off the excitement
as you walk back to your room at nearby Holiday
Inn Mart Plaza . Who says the good times must come to an end? <<--Back |
