Things To Do
These are some of our favorite places in the area, for those who are visiting for the weekend.
Gene & Jude's
2720 North River Road, River Grove, IL 60171
Known for their traditional Chicago hot dogs topped with sweet relish, diced raw onion, mustard, sport pepper, & smothered with fries.
Johnnie's Beef
7500 West North Avenue, Elmwood Park, IL 60707
Try one of Chicago’s best Italian beef sandwiches and don’t forget an Italian ice! It has an amazing subtle lemon flavor with a slushee-like ice texture.
Submarine Tender
200 Des Plaines Avenue, Forest Park, IL 60130
We have yet to try a sandwich we don’t like from Submarine Tender, but our go-to is the Depth Charge.
Salerno's Pizza of Oak Park
7128 Roosevelt Road, Oak Park, IL 60304
Tim’s childhood favorite pizza most notably with a soft, chewy crust, and a satisfyingly gooey, cheesy topping.
Millennium Park
201 East Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60602
Check out Cloud Gate aka “The Bean.”
Buckingham Fountain
301 South Columbus Drive, Chicago, IL 60605
Easily the most beautiful and largest fountain in downtown Chicago.
Field Museum
1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605
Drop by and see “Sue,” the real T-Rex skeleton and so much more!
Chicago Botanic Garden
1000 Lake Cook Road, Glencoe, IL 60022
Walking through the endless gardens feels like something out of fairytales.
For all the days along the way
