I'm not good at picking favorites but some say "best burger in Chicago" and it's really darn good. Can experience 2-3 hour wait during dinner rush so put your name in and head to a bar in the vicinity or Haymarket Brewery for an excellent beer selection. Small Cheval in Wicker Park also has the burgers, with a more laid back atmosphere.

Essentials
Armitage Produce
3334 W Armitage AveSightseeing
Note: The Signature Room (95th floor) is an expensive restaurant and you should have a reservation. The Signature Lounge (96th floor) is open to the public and you can get the best city views for a much lower price and no need to make it a meal time (they have $8 beers and $16 cocktails I think).

Expensive but delicious drinks and exquisite decor atop the Chicago Athletic Association building. Amazing views down Michigan Ave. Expect a wait to take the elevator up. An alternative is to visit the Game Room on the 2nd floor where you'll find full size bocce, shuffleboard and multiple bars.
