If you are staying in the city, I would not rent a car. Much easier to take the train or cab.

NATO summit could restrict things in the heart of the city and just to the south of it.

Things to see:

Michigan ave
Art Institute
Take a architectual tour of the river
Take in a BB game either sox or cubs
Botanic gardens - this is a car ride but it is very nice, you could spend the day there.
Blues club - Kningston Mines

Food:
Chicago style pizza
Steak: Gene - Georgettis
just about anything on Randolph street
Depending on where you are staying, there are many resturants. Yelp is good

Bars:
Viargra triangle - sit outside, people watch on Rush street.


Have fun!
