No. Nothing in Chicago is like Canal Street in NYC. There is a street called "Canal Street" but it isn't LIKE Canal Street, capiche?
No, we have a Chinatown, but there's no outdoor bazaar or street market. That would have been awesome.
For about 100 years, Chicago had an early Sun bazaar on Maxwell St but it degenerated through the last 15 years and was eventually leveled by our mayor for upscale development. It had the street market, street food, and street blues music but lacked the artists.
Nothing, I repeat, nothing is like Chicago! No street, no food, no sightseeing, no place etc.. is like Chicago.

It is a world class city that commands attention form the world.
Not sure what you're asking, but if you're asking if there's an outdoor flea market in Chicago, then the answer is yes. While the old Maxwell Street is gone, there is a new outdoor flea market on the weekends on Canal street starting at Roosevelt road. The info below is from the website Gapers Block:


The New Maxwell Street Market
1500 S. Canal (at Roosevelt), Chicago
Swag rating - 6

Maxwell street has been turned into a giant open air Zayre. Lots and lots of new merchandise. There's one trick to this flea. The haulers and people who clean out estates sell at the north end of the market. If you stick with the area north of Roosevelt, you stand a better chance of finding the swag you crave.

Now if you're asking if there is something like Canal Street in New York, not sure about that. You may want to go to the New York section of Yahoo Answers for that.
