Bloomingdale Trail (The 606)

Bloomingdale Trail, Chicago, IL

Elevated walking/running trail in our neighborhood - our apartment looks out over it :) Morning walk itinerary: grab breakfast from Mindy's Bakery (brave the line - it's worth it!), stroll to Park #567 at the base of the 606 bridge to eat, and walk on the 606 after. Afternoon walk itinerary: grab lunch and ice cream from Small Cheval and walk on the 606 after. Too hot for a walk? Head next door to Royal Palms for shuffleboard and rooftop cocktails.

Shelby's favorite place for a stroll!
