Born chicagoan, I've gotta throw in my 2 cents. There is an unbelievable amount of things to do. All of the below aree either right downtown, or within 10 minutes. Heres the short list.
Food:
--Mr. Beef: Best italian beefs in the city.
--Chicago Chop House: Very upscale steakhouse right downtown. www.chicagochophouse.com
--Rosebud, on Taylor St.: Amazing Italian food in Little Italy! Mind your manners while there, its a known "family" business.
http://www.rosebudrestaurants.com/therosebud.htm
Culture:
--Art Institute of Chicago: Some of the worlds best known pieces are here. Located on Magnificent Mile. http://www.artic.edu/
--Museum of Science and Industry: Worth checking out. U-Boat not open now right now though. www.msichicago.org/
--Navy Pier: Outdoor.Indoor Pier that stretches out Lake Michigan. Huge ferris wheel, stores, IMAX theater, and restaurants with beer gardens. www.navypier.com/
Nightlife:
--Rush and Division: A block of bars and clubs! www.rushanddivision.com
--Many bars and clubs aorund city: same company owns all of these very cool properties around city. From college pubs, to all out mega dance clubs. Find your taste. http://www.aceplaces.com
--Signature Room: This is a lounge on the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower that offers 360 degree views that extend roughly 200+ miles out. AMAZING at night with that special someone. http://www.signaturelounge.com/

The place I went to was called "Dani's Pizza", and it was on Lefferts 2 or 3 blocks north of Metro & Lefferts.
(Oh, and gotta love Yerman's Irish Food & Airline Bar on the corner of Metro & Lefferts. Just the name of the place always cracked me up)

Birthplace of Pizza
I have been told by my EyeTalian friends in Utica (pronounced Jootica) that actually, Pizza came from China.
Chinese cooks were serving a pasta, tomato sauce and cheese disk about 3000 years ago.
They'd love to claim it as Italian but they regrettably admit they stole it from China.

If you're gonna be up by the Marriott Lincolnshire, you will be about 45 minutes north of downtown. There is a pretty cool bar about five minutes away from there called Half Day Inn. Literally right up the road. Its boasts a college age crowd, and is open till 4 am every night. If thats not to you're liking you can try Schaumburg which is about 20 minutes away, and has a pretty good selection of bars.

The Cubby Bear North is just down the street from the Mariott Lincoln•e: The Cubby Bear North
It's a pretty good sports bar/grill and they have live bands on the weekends. It's a spin off of the original Cubby Bear which is right across from Wrigley Field where the Cubs play downtown. Not as much fun as the original but it's only about a mile from where you'll be staying.
