Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Taina Luhtala and Adam Brice
We sincerely hope you'll consider staying Friday night and Saturday to enjoy all that eclectic "Heavenston" has to offer. Home to Northwestern University and nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan, Evanston offers a plethora of historical, culinary, academic, and cultural experiences! Consider visiting cafes and restaurants, strolling along the lakefront, catching a Cubs home game, touring Northwestern's campus, investigating museums and historic locations, or strolling through the rose garden. And, only one mile south, Chicago is a world-class city that offers an expanded menu of the same. We highly recommend walking, exploring, and eating your way through Evanston and Chicago!

Found ($$$)

Eclectic dishes created from locally sourced food. Taina's favorite restaurant.

Blind Faith Cafe ($$)

Incredibly tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes. Adam is NOT a vegetarian and still loves this place.

Lucky Platter ($$)

Quirky diner with high-quality, elevated American-style food. Especially delicious for breakfast and lunch.

Sea Ranch Sushi ($$)

Simple, local shop with fresh, delicious sushi and incredibly friendly Japanese staff.

Colectivo Coffee ($)

One of many fun cafes in Evanston. But, this shop is where we met for our first date!

Peet's Coffee ($)

A favorite Evanston coffee cafe. Half a block from the Woman's Club.

Architectural Boat Tour

A must-experience cruise offering live architectural narration throughout downtown Chicago from the perspective of the Chicago river. Recently voted #1 boat tour in North America.

Museums

The Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum of Natural History, Museum of Science and Industry, or the Art Institute are excellent options for a day in downtown Chicago.

The Riverwalk

Stroll along the Chicago River through downtown and enjoy fantastic views and excellent restaurants.

Chicago Cubs Game

Home game against the Milwaukee Brewers at historic Wrigley Field on Saturday, Aug 20th at 1:20pm. Buy tickets online.

Chicago Botanical Gardens

Located 30 minutes north of Evanston in Glencoe, IL. The gardens offer relaxing, spectacular grounds with lakes, native woodlands, and an "extensive living plant museum." Great place to walk and grab a light meal. Be sure to ask Adam about the romantic service road walk past the trash dumpsters that he took Taina on during their second date. Not to be missed!

For all the days along the way
