Chicago and thrifting

I am planning a weekend trip to Chicago. I have never been there and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where to go.  I would love to visit some big thrift stores/flea markets also. I am also hoping to plan a New York trip sometime soon too. I have already done all the touristy things and am looking to find some fun artsy things.
I love to go thrifting. The rush of finding something great in the midst of all the junk is great!  Where I live in Ohio, we have at least 4 thrift stores, just in my town.  I think they are a little thrift crazy, but it's nice. It might have something to do with the 2 colleges here.  There is a glass museum and factory here, so our thrift stores have a ton of glass and ceramics.  During the spring and summer, there is also a flea market once a month.  My favorite find there was an owl TV lamp. You can see it here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/87994767/ceramic-owl-tv-lantern .  Anyone else have a favorite find from a thrift store or flea market?
