In my great quest to do anything but work, might I suggest something along the lines of what's being done here in NYC? Much of Broadway, near Times Square, is shut down to traffic at certain peak times. Lounge chairs are set up on the street itself and people can mill about like it's an actual town square. It's great. There's no reason key stretches of land (Michigan Ave., etc.) couldn't be barred for traffic on certain times on certain days to invite people for a day-long downtown experience, where you can easily wander around Millenium Park and Grant Park and the AI, etc. Maybe food stands can be set up too.
