Art museum is fabulous. You could spend hours just standing in front of the Seurat "Sunday on the Isle of Grand Jatte". Beginning at the Art Museum and going south, there is a whole campus full of museums; the Museum of Science and Industry, the Planetariem, the Aquarium, all in gorgeous buildings and all wonderful ways to spend an afternoon.
If you're into shopping, just plan to spend an afternoon walking up and down Michigan Avenue. Some of the ritziest stores in the world.
If the weather is pleasant enough to be able to spend some time walking outside, take a walk through Graceland Cemetery. It's in the "Wrigleyville" neighborhood. Burial place of many people of national & local fame, and much beautiful sculpture.
As to eateries, let's see- we always bend the dietary rules a little on trips to Chicago

because there's just so much good cuisine. But you might really enjoy a trip to Chinatown- really pretty and chock full of wonderful Asian restaurants.
For really world-class dining, you might want to check out Charlie Trotter's He has a cooking show on PBS; regarded as a chef's chef.
Whatever you decide to do, you'll have a great time! We live in Milwaukee (about 1 1/2 hours away) and take trips down several times a year. It's a tremendous city.
