Re: NOOB Visiting Chicago this weekend !!

what you need to do is take a cab, and hop on over to Cigar King in skokie. about 10 miles from downtown.

Thats my second home. they take great care of their family.

Re: NOOB Visiting Chicago this weekend !!

I would have mentioned Cigar King but it is a bit of a hike. A cab from downtown would probably cost $40-50 one way.
And yes, if you go to Ditka's, take cigars with you...

I was a little concerned about this. Will be in Chicago in December and Cigar King was absolutely on my agenda. Do the elevated trains run out that direction? Was thinking that I might pickup a cab from somewhere a little closer than downtown.

There is apparently an el line that goes to skokie on weekdays. I've never taken it. Looks like the stop is about 1 mile from cigar king. I suppose buses would be another option but that would be pretty slow going...
