I'm planning on going to Chicago for the first week after X'mas and want some suggestions from you guys :)
So should I start reserving hotel now? And hotels in which area provide a good combination of goegraphic situation and money?

Is there any place that I can get good Chinese food and Korean food?

I know it's pretty cold in Chicago during the winter, but is there still any place worth going besides shopping and stuff like that?

Thanks a lot!
