The LEGO Store
Getting caught in the crowd of tweeters, techies and tourists oozing from the Apple store can cause a headache, especially when you need serious Genius support. (Yeah, sweatpant kid checking your Facebook, not everyone goes for the free wifi.) If you’ve got time to kill, give Apple a break and skip through Lego-land instead. It’s plastic, build-your-own fun on Michigan Avenue, where adults can relive their childhoods and children can live out their shopping-with-Mom fantasies.
