Thanks for all the good ideas.

I had a great day and was able to enjoy Chicago's downtown. The Duke was closed and so were most of the attractions. I managed to make do though. First I slept in and missed the parade so I went for a great breakfast at the hotel. Went for a long walk down State and back. Read for a bit, then headed for the buffet at MityNice. Then a walk down Michigan window shopping and watching the lineups start for the midnight openings. The weather was grand and the people were friendly. I hope I get to go back soon.
