The shows run every night of the week, attracting some of the funniest talent in the city."

"While the Chicago Water Tower was really only built to hide a standpipe, its intricate design symbolizes the value of simple things; like water supply.

It is built with a characteristic Gothic Revival style, almost fairytale-like."

"Older school children and some older teens may enjoy the stunning architecture and impressive art collection found here. Located on the Magnificent Mile, Chicago’s one of the most easily recognized landmarks was built from 1867-1869 and survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Up at the top, on the 70th floor, Cite’ serves up excellent French-inspired American haute cuisine."

There’s the cinematic entrance to the den-like restaurant via a former freight elevator door."
