Today i met up with my friends at 1030am. We walked on the Magnificent Mile. We were taking a 1pm architectural tour on modern skyscrapers. We went to the Chicago Cultural Center. In there was a culinary concierge. I picked his brain on his restaurant suggestions. I was looking for the famous hot dog. He suggested a place by the start of our architectural tour. The place is called Max's. I finally had the famous hot dog. It tasted very similar to a regular hot dog except the toppings are larger. No ketchup allowed! I had a cheese dog. It came with relish, a small sliver of a pickle, two small slices of tomatoes. We did the walking tour. It was two hours long. We then went to lunch at the Village (see restaurant blog).

The Art Institute of Chicago is free on thursdays after 5pm. We went after our lunch. When we got there we were surprised to see a massive line. But the line moved very quickly. There was so much to see. It is larger than the Van Art Gallery. It took us two hours to finish seeing the exhibits we wanted to see. We saw about 90 percent of the gallery. We then went to Pizzeria Uno (see restaurant blog). We called it a night after the pizza.
