Things To Do
Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours
You HAVE to take an architectural tour in Chicago. Did you even visit Chicago without doing this? A beautiful way to experience and learn about Chicago's history.
Wrigley Field
Watch a Cub's game. Do it for the memories. Get over it and get the overpriced beer and hot dog.
Navy Pier
Great photo ops! Fun fact: Isa used to perform here at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre
Chicago Riverwalk
Enjoy the view of the famous Chicago riverwalk with a cup of coffee in your hand... or if you like wine stop by City Winery on the riverwalk for a quick drink.
PLANTA Chicago
Caleb's favorite vegan restaurant... This place will blow your mind! Reservations recommended.
Sabor A Café Niles - Colombian Steakhouse & Live Music Venue
Isa's favorite Colombian restaurant... Live music and dance floor on the weekends! If you like salsa or want to learn, go here.
The Green Mill
Like jazz? Historical spot in Chicago favored by Al Capone. He owned a speakeasy across the street but preferred The Green Mill (sit at his favorite spot, the booth at the end of the bar). This joint was opened during the prohibition era. Small intimate space with great jazz performances.
Pearl's Place Restaurant "Down Home Southern Cooking"
Southern style soul food buffet restaurant. Absolutely delicious!!!!
Chinatown
Food recs? Triple Crown Restaurant JOYYEE (food & boba) Chi Cafe Mango Mango (dessert - all mango items) 88 Marketplace (huge cafeteria with various options) Ming Hin Kung Fu Tea (boba)
Little India
Devon Avenue is full of traditional Indian/Pakistani cuisine. Between California & Ridge.
Adler Planetarium
Eataly
Italian sit-down marketplace offering dessert, dinner, gifts and a grand selection of pasta and wine. This is my favorite place to stop in when I'm overwhelmed or tired of the busyness of downtown Chicago.
3 Arts Club Cafe at RH Chicago
Great spot for brunch and photos... or skip the food and enjoy the furniture gallery. One of Chicago's historical landmarks that was preserved. It used to be a residential club for women who were studying the arts.
