Things To Do

Chicago has our heart, and we are so excited to spend the weekend with you in our favorite place that we call home. Whether you are planning to go to a museum, take a walk by the lake, or want to try a new restaurant, Chicago will never disappoint. Here are some of our favorite places and recommendations as we continue to eat our way through Chicago!

Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds

1060 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 60613

As love would have it, our hometown teams are playing each other at Wrigley Field on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Chicago Architecture River Cruise

112 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601

Hear how Chicago grew from a small settlement into one of the world's largest cities in less than 100 years. In just 90 minutes, you'll get the best overview of Chicago’s architecture and its history.

Riverwalk

22 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601

Explore the heart of downtown and see all the amazing architecture along the Chicago Riverwalk. Tiny Tapp is a great spot to stop along the way for a drink!

Chicago Electric Boat Company

300 North State Street, Chicago, IL 60654

We highly recommend renting an electric boat if you'd like to navigate the Chicago River with a smaller crew. BYOB and you can play your own tunes!

Millennium Park

Chicago, IL 60602

Explore the iconic Bean (Cloud Gate), Lurie Garden, BP Pedestrian Bridge, and more — a short walk from the Arlo and Hyatt Hotels.

The Art Institute of Chicago

111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

Adjacent to Millennium Park, the museum is a must for art lovers! Be prepared to spend at least a few hours on this one.

Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse

1028 North Rush Street, Chicago, IL 60611

Best steakhouse in Chicago. Try Hugo's next door if you want something slightly more casual with the same menu!

Au Cheval

800 West Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607

Best burger in Chicago! Go early, put your name in, and grab a drink next door at Lone Wolf while you wait.

La Scarola

721 West Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60654

Dine like a Chicago Mobster at this old-school Italian spot

Trivoli Tavern

114 North Green Street, Chicago, IL 60607

Arguably our favorite overall restaurant in Chicago! Reservations open 21 days in advance or you can try to sneak in and belly up at their bar! If all else fails, see our Green Street recommendation - they're neighbors!

Green Street Smoked Meats

112 North Green Street, Chicago, IL 60607

Looking for a fast-casual spot with cafeteria style BBQ? Look no further.

Pequod's Pizza

2207 North Clybourn Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

Best deep dish pizza in Chicago. Go early, put your name in & grab a drink next door at Whale Tale.

Mercadito

108 West Kinzie Street, Chicago, IL 60654

One of our favorite Mexican spots. The chicken tacos and margaritas are first-class.
