"Running along the river"

The E S Water Street is running along the Chicago River where it is one of the most wonderful city scenes of Chicago. It is basically a business area along the street with just a few of apartments. It is like one of the most latest developed area in Chicago, everything is really new there. The people there are kinda conservative but really nice

"A must if you visit this city"

Columbus Drive is known as tourist central for good reason. At the base of downtown, it offers beautiful views of the city. Driving can be annoyingly sluggish so it is best to wander around on foot here. Other attractions include the Chicago Art Institute, located right along the road. But that is not all. Columbus goes right through the infamous grant park, and passes right by Soldier Field.

"Great, but packed with tourists"

Columbus Drive is really great, and if you're a tourist, it's a must-visit. On the downside, it's a must-visit for tourists. Columbus runs north / south just a block or two west of Lake Michigan, and it's lined with interesting attractions. Millennium Park has the ever-popular Bean (which you really can't leave Chicago without seeing) and rotating visiting exhibits. Farther south, Grant Park has Buckingham Fountain (a la Married with Children), and lots of very pretty parks and gardens.

"one word crowded"

Of course one of the most flamboyant and fun filled not to mention crowded place in Chicago. The number of visitors to millennium park keeps increasing each year.
