Jordana Spiro’s Guide to Chicago

In the TBS comedy My Boys, PJ Franklin, a twenty-something Chicago sports writer, balances her dream job, a dating life and a never-ending poker tournament with the boys. Although most of the series is shot in LA, Jordana Spiro, who plays PJ, got to know Chicago while shooting some scenes there. Here she shares her top five Chicago spots:

1. Wrigley Field
"It’s fun to sit in the bleachers under the scoreboard with the liveliest-- and probably most vocal-- baseball fans you’ll ever meet. The enthusiasm is pretty infectious."

2. The Double Door
"A good music venue in Wicker Park. I was there last October and saw the Go! Team. As an aside, if you can see the Go! Team anywhere, I highly recommend it. They put on such an energetic show."

3. Danny's in Bucktown
"Danny’s is a house turned into a bar, and it’s a laid back spot with several rooms and good music."

4. Millennium Park
"Specifically 'The Cloud Gate' Sculpture. It’s this huge bean-shaped stainless steel structure that you can walk in and around, reflecting the skyline and everyone standing around it. It is so beautiful and picture-worthy."

5. The Architecture Boat Tour
"I’m not the biggest fan of tours, but I wanted to learn more about architecture-- mainly to sound cool at a party-- and get acquainted with the city on my first trip. If you’re a history nerd and have any interest in the Great Fire of 1871 and the rebuilding of Chicago, it’s a nice way to spend an hour."
