You can spend $10-11 and visit the official observation deck on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building, or you can wait in another line, sometimes shorter, and always free line to go to the Bar/Lounge on the 96th Floor.

The view isn't as dramatic with tables, and bars and people sprawled along the window seats, but for the budget traveler, or drinker, you can get a 2nd-rate view and spend your $10 on a couple of expensive drinks.

Stephen-KarenConn Tue Mar 1, 2005 19:43 UTC Excellent start on your Chicago tips. When we were there we did as you suggest and had lunch atop the Hancock Building - a great deal. Stephen
