Neither! Chicago is a midwest destination.

Also outside of the odd question above, can anyone suggest things to do in Chicago and around? Relatively young couple looking to explore a city, do a fair bit of shopping, look around the clubs, go on road trips to nearby destinations, may be a bit of lounging at a beach.
You can do all these things in Chicago, and more. I'd recommend getting a guide book for Chicago for a better overview, then coming back here for more specific advice.
