The best cheeseburger in the city according to...almost any local you ask. Worth the trek but don't wait until you're hungry - the wait could be up to 3 hours.

Drinks & Nightlife
Willis Tower (Sears Tower) does have "The Ledge" and is taller, but the John Hancock actually has better views of the city. I recommend having a drink or two for the view.
