 What to see outside of Downtown Chicago? 

We've done all the touristy things downtown, and since we'll be staying at the Sofitel at Ohare wondered about any recommendations to do things out that way - or whats to see? Any ideas for some interesting neighborhoods to check out, reasonable restaurants?

Since you would be coming in on the Blue Line, get off at the Damen stop and checkout Bucktown / Wicker Park. Lots of shops and bars and place to eat.

The Ukranian Village is also a cool Neighborhood off the Blue line at the Chicago stop.
