    Lincoln Park Zoo. It's completely free, it's gorgeous, not super crowded, and has a lot of cool animals in not completely depressing cages (at least compared to the LA Zoo, which is animal hell on earth)

    Edit: wait nvm just realized what time it is. Uh, just go to any public space you can and appreciate the landscaping/architecture?

    Well on State St you can do things they don't do on Broadway.

    You'll have the time, the time of your life.

    I saw a man, he danced with his wife!

    Get a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, wear some sunglasses, then drive like a mad person to get $5,000 to the Cook County assessor and save the orphanage.

    There's the Second City. And the Billy Goat Tavern which has a lot of lore and also hamburgers.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Did they give you a bullshit voucher that you can't even redeem until after your flight has left?

    I got stuck in a similar situation a few months ago. I ended up just taking their voucher to the attached Hilton, balking at the prices of room service, then going to bed.

    I had to sleep in the Detroit airport once. Woke up at 5 in the morning to a very old man poking my shoulder, asking if I had any straws.

    Kind of? If I don't want to go through security again, but I guess I have time

    Get something from the Frontera in the airport for breakfast at the very least.

  • KetarKetar Registered User regular
    If you are at O'Hare a very short cab ride could get you to Shoeless Joe's in Rosemont, which is open until 4am. Sports bar with a pretty good beer selection and decent food.

    Struggling to come up with anything else in that area that would be open for a while. Really just places like Denny's or Steak n Shake. Other bars too, but none i really know.

    I had no straws.

    Hell, I didn't even have any carry on bags to give the appearance of potentially having a stash of straws stored away somewhere.

    Aight I'm going to Shoeless Joe's I think that sounds good

    If your flight isn't for another... 10.5 hours at this point, I'd probably find a relatively safe but visible spot, hunker down, and go to sleep

    It's what @SilverWind and I did last time we had a really long layover and it was nighttime; though we were traveling together so we could sleep in shifts while the other person played Bravely Default or whatever the Hell we were doing at the time

    no but seriously, if you're trapped in O'Hare for anything more than three hours you're legally obligated to pick up some Garrett's popcorn

    Frontera?

    Tortas Frontera. Airport food done by Chicago's Mexican food master Rick Bayless. The only airport food i've ever truly enjoyed. Genuinely good tortas. The agua frescas are good too. Stop by in the morning, very worth it.

    They have one in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, and possibly Terminal 5 now as well.
