My partner and I have a short break next week and some credit card points so we decided to go to Chicago since we’ve never been. Totally forgot the DNC is happening at the same time. We’ve already booked flights and hotel and stuff damn it. At least if something funny happens I’ll be there for the history of it.

Any recommendations for things to do/see in Chicago? Also I’m hoping there are some Gaza protests we can join, anyone know of any going on?

    Solemn Oath in Logan Square is my favorite bar. Super chill, dog friendly, and free pool.

    Tons of great food, lots of different cuisines. Don’t bother with deep dish unless you want the novelty of it, you’re never more than a stones throw from better pizza.

    Lots of lefty presence, so you won’t need to look hard for that stuff to link up. If you’re around on a Saturday morning, I know a cool mutual aid opportunity that I can point you to.

    Brain is not good ATM so ill ramble more later

      Solemn Oath looks great! Thanks for the rec. And the note about the deep dish, makes sense that’d be a little tourist trappy. We’ll be heading out before then but appreciate the shout
