Things To Do
Au Cheval
Everyone goes for the burger, may we recommend the Root beer and fried Tempesta bologna sandwich?? Fun Fact: Meghan and Alyssa have been known to show up at 10 am to beat the rush
Dog Haus
Did you know hot dogs are Meghan's favorite food? Fun Fact: Alyssa took Meghan here for take-out the day they got engaged
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company
The famous Pizza Pot Pie (better than deep dish?) Fun Fact (or tip!): Don't forget this joint is cash only, it's not like Alyssa and Meghan forgot cash and debit cards the first time and had to get back in the 1 hour wait line...
AO Hawaiian Hideout
Amazing Hawaiian/Asian food Fun Fact: Although it was less than 5 minute walk from Meghan and Alyssa's first apartment together, they have been known to order delivery...
Sweet Mandy B's Bakery
Insane bakery items, mostly for Alyssa's sweet tooth
Taco Bell
We plead the fifth.
Guthries Tavern
One of Meghan's favorite bars in the city
Maria's Packaged Goods and Community Bar
One of Alyssa's favorite bars in the city, near where Alyssa went to optometry school Fun Fact: The Marz Malort Spritz is a must, or just Malort (when in Chicago, right?)
Field Museum
We might be biased, but we think this is the best museum in Chicago!
Wendella Tours & Cruises
The Chicago Architecture Tour a must do if you are visiting from out of town
The Chicago Theatre
Iconic Chicago location and the tour is AMAZING Fun Fact: Our first "stay-cation" we went on a tour and everyone was from outside the city but us
Wrigley Field
The picture is from our first Cubs Game together! If you have time and love baseball as much as Alyssa's dad, please do a tour! Extra credit: if you find Dave Lancaster's brick outside the stadium, send a pic to Alyssa or Meghan! Fun Fact: Unbeknownst to each of us, we were outside Wrigley probably less than 50 feet away from each other when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series
