Please note, due to parking restrictions (ie, you have to pay for parking) I'd highly recommend taking the train downtown and walking in (the train from the NE goes to 10th street, from there it's about 2 blocks walk).

Also nearby is Shaw Millenium Park.

Notes

Not sure what to say about this one. I haven't been up the Tower in *years*, but it's something that everyone should do. You can either pay to take the elevator up, or walk the stairs for free, but there's 802 steps.
