What are some of the best things to do in Chicago? I was thinking about Second City, but I am open to suggestions. Nothing really tourist-y...

That'd be fun.
There's a whole bunch of fun shit up north. I don't know what else you're into but go to yelp and look for things that appeal
to you. |

Eat!
Wrigley Field, Field Museum, Navy Pier and the lake! |

Shop, of course! Do the Magnificent Mile.

a boat tour. The Archictectural tour is fun even if you're not that interested in the buildings.
If you're interested in Second City, you might like Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind: 30 Plays in 60 Minutes. But it's not downtown, it's kinda far north so it depends how you're getting around. |

Go see a play or go to a comedy club. Find a show or concert. Check out a ethnic restaurant you've never tried before.
The last time I was in Chicago, we went to see "Put the Nuns Back in Charge". It was worth seeing. http://www.theatreinchicago.com/playdetail.php?playID=391 |

Second City would be fun! Or maybe Zanies. The street festivals should be starting up soon, too. You can see what's going on when you're here. http://chicago.timeout.com/section/summer-festivals
If you do anything touristy, go to the aquarium. I went with my family when they were in town and we had a great time. Then walk over to the planetarium for the great view of downtown.

Don't go to Wrigley Field, you might be risking your life with all the concrete falling down.

This is kind of touristy but we did the off/on double decker tour bus last weekend. It was awesome. for 30.00 I got to see all the Chicago sites, a free
tshirt, a free Hersehy bar and a free bag of popcorn. It was really worth the money.
