Just wanting to keep the negative subjects aside about the city...

So what is your favorite thing to do when you are in Chicago (downtown)?

Downtown?
hmmm

I love architecture so honestly, just being amongst all that is relaxing to me.
The brown line is fun downtown since it's like a little 2.25 tour.

Just walking.

Downtown isn't really where one would go to do "things" unless you're bringing someone along.

Sorry to say OP, but most of the good **** in Chicago does not happen downtown. Only part of it does.

I used to like taking walks all around downtown but then I realized that my tolerance level of tourists is not that high anymore.

I do like taking walks along Lake Michigan though.

Sometimes, I'll walk from the Nature Museum to the fountain just for the hell of it.

Italian Beef! When you don't have access to it, you really crave it.
Then of course it's the Lincoln Park Zoo, the various ethnic neighborhoods with their delis, restaurants and bakeries.
Looking at the special and unique buildings like the Chicago bungalows, 2/3 flats, greystones, forest preserves,
The Field Museum and the people.
