Lincoln Park Zoo
Our go-to area to walk around on a nice summer day! We suggest walking through the zoo (free), by Lincoln Park Conservatory, and then heading east to the lakefront trail. *On Saturday mornings the Green City Farmer's Market is a gem to explore!
Shoe's Pub
Our favorite local watering hole! Very casual, "hole in the wall" pub with friendly patrons. Starting point of our infamous Armitage Barcawl: Shoe's Pub, Tripoli Tap, Kincade's, Marquee Lounge. Food is BYO!
Flesk Brewing
Fairly new local brewery right in downtown Barrington!
Egg Harbor Cafe
Our favorite breakfast spot! We came here the shortly after we met so it was technically our first date! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here
Woodfield Mall
If you're staying at the Westin Itasca, Woodfield Shopping Center has an infinite amount of restaurants and shops to peruse!
Lynfred Winery
A boutique winery estate near Medinah CC and the Westin Itasca
Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours
If you're a first timer in Chicago, we reccommend carving some time out for an architectural boat tour on the Chicago River! It's a great way to learn some Chicago history and get yourself oriented with some of the country's most famous buildings
