As a sedentary, teetotaling, picky eater, I may not be qualified to talk so much from my first-hand experiences, but here's what I can gather about Chicago, which I have lived near for my entire life, and where which I'm currently taking classes at Columbia.
Drinking- On every block, there's either a bar or a liquor store, often times, both. In the 3-block area between my subway stop and where my classes are, there are four bars and a liquor store/bartending school.
Eating- You get all kinds of cuisine at Taste of Chicago, which is the largest food fair on Earth; even on the other 355 days of the year, there's all kinds of cuisine; When it comes to local food, there's three major food groups: Chicago-style hot dog (with everything, but no ketchup; putting ketchup on your dog can get very hazardous for your health here in the same way that making fun of O-Ren Ishii's heritage is for those who dare in Kill Bill), Chicago-style pizza (thin crust, stuffed crust, deep dish); Italian beef. If you're the kind of person who thinks that vegetables can take the place of meat, they've got restaurants for you, too, including one right near Wrigley Field that my mum loves but I hate with a passion.
Partying- Well, let me put it this way, Raving would be very different without the influence of the Chicago club scene (it pretty much invented house music.)
History- Holy hell, here's what Wikipedia has to say about it and it's nowhere near complete.
Nice People-Well, it's a large city; if you want a place where people are nice, go to a small town.
