I would contact the city of chicago's website, im sure they have a visitors guide. There are a ton of things to do, plenty of fabolous restaurants, from the porter house ( from whom we get the cut of steak by the same name, to pizza uno ( the home of the origional chicago deep dish pizza) to Ed debreviack's(spo?) a classic 50's style dinner where the waitstaff are intentionaly funny rude like don rickles.

If you love BBQ, you must visit the Webber Grill Inn where everything is cooked on webber grills. I even took pictures of the grills in the restuarant last year when I went. The downtown area near Water Tower Place is great for taking historic pictures. Just the everyday hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago makes great pictures. I promise you, you will not run out of things to shoot (with your camera, or course) in Chicago.
