Must smoke here is easy - either in a B&M, or out on the street, away from any doorway.

As far as B&Ms, you'll be close to Iwan Ries

Keep in mind they are closed Sunday, as is most of the stuff in that neighborhood (it's really weird).

As far as art museums, the Art Institute is pretty cool. You could spend a lot of time there.

If I had to choose two restaurants for dinner in Chicago they would probably be North Pond and Dorado (get the Duck Nachos). Neither is close to your hotel, so you'd need to drive, cab, or el.
