For seafood I would recommend Hugo's Frog Bar.

Pizza, my personal fave is Giordano's.

If you have access to a car (or maybe even the train), Cigar King is a great B&M.

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

+1 for Iwan Ries

IMO, the best Italian in Chicago.---- http://www.italianvillage-chicago.com/
The have a great wine list to say the least. There are 3 restaurants that make up the Italian Village, all in the same building, go to the original Village which is upstairs. Here is more of a visual- http://www.italianvillage-chicago.com/video.php

Capital Grille has great steaks. I think they are on N. St. Clair, just off Michigan ave.

If you were to ask a Floridian what it is you can do in mid to late November in Chicago, specially a Floridian who has had the opportunity to go there many, many times, there is only one answer he can give you:

FREEZE YOUR A$$ OFF!!!

However, I would do Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza as Tom suggested.
As others have also said, the Hancock building is cool to go up to.
For me, it would be all about food. That city has awesome food to be had anywhere you turn to.
