Our first date spot! For anyone coming in a day early, we recommend making a dinner reservation at our spot.
A recent find in our new neighborhood! Delicious small plates and a great spot to belly up at the bar from 5–7 PM for Happy Hour!
If you love a piano bar as much as we do, Zebra Lounge is the spot to go! A hole in the wall piano bar with red lighting and dive bar service embodies the early years of our relationship. When we lived just a 10 minute walk away, this was our weekend (and sometimes weekday) spot.
A little slice of paradise in the city and a relaxing escape from the Chicago winter! Wander through beautiful indoor gardens, tropical plants, and lush greenery.
One of our favorite Chicago winter traditions! We make a trip here every winter for glühwein, German treats, and all the festive holiday vibes.
A great spot near the hotel block for delicious Italian food, handmade pasta, and a great cocktail.
One of our go-to ramen spots in Chicago! The perfect place to warm up with a bowl of ramen on a chilly winter day. With several locations around Chicago, the Fulton Market spot is the closest to our hotel block.
A Fulton Market gem for coffee, pastries, chocolate, and an easy breakfast or lunch.
