Chicago for sure everything you can do in cinci you can do in the chi make sure you hit up the museums and the navy pier even though itll be chilly.

Well chicago is much more fun. Lots of bars/eateries to go to that are very famous, also a much better city for site seeing, shopping, etc. Cincy is tbh kind of dirty and run down. Dont get me wrong its not terrible but having been both places i would definitely choose chicago.

i can agree to this somewhat, except that part about cincy being dirty and run down because chicago is right up there with it if not worse. some areas there are like another planet.

I lived in cincinnati when I went to college for 4 years, the town is TERRIBLE. The only redeeming factors are not even in cincinnati, rather northern kentucky/tristate area (the aquarium is in newport, ky). chicago is a real city with real fun for adults, DO IT

there's the million dollar mile you can take in (chicago). actually kind of cool. then of course navy pier like others mentioned. for me navy pier was a bit on the boring side, although we did catch a flick at the imax.

i saw a number of interesting jazz clubs i would have liked to go to.
