OT: Ideas for a Chicago Bachelor Party
My youngest is getting married in October, and wants to schedule a bachelor party in Chicago. Looks like the dates are set for the July 4th weekend. The major attraction will be attending a Cubs game. I believe the plan is to rent an AirBnB (for a group of 15 30-year olds) somewhere in the Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, Near North area.
But it's been 20+ years since I've spent much time in the Windy city, and many more than that since I was a youngster hanging out at The Lodge.
What activity ideas, including dining spots, are recommended? They're looking to be economical, but not cheap. And finding the best deep dish pizza will probably be on the agenda.
