Daisies Restaurant

Danielle's favorite meal of 2017

Little Goat Diner

Great brunch and/or lunch spot. Try the FISH TOSTADAS or the MACHOS NACHOS.

Small Cheval

Rated one of the best burgers in America. It's a delicious burger, but instead of waiting 4 hours for a table at the original Au Cheval on Randolph, get the same burger ordered from the counter. Note: single = double & double = quadruple....

Piccolo Sogno

One of our favorite Italian spots. Try and grab a table outside on their patio (weather permitting).

The J. Parker

Topping off Hotel Lincoln is the J. Parker Rooftop Bar, offering signature cocktails & a beautiful view of Lincoln Park & the zoo.

Cindy's

Cindy's is the rooftop restaurant at the Chicago Athletic Association. On their open-air terrace you have panoramic views of Millennium Park, the Art Institute, Lake Michigan, and more. Great place to stop by after a day of exploring in Chicago if you don't mind waiting in a little bit of a line!

The Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest and most stunning conservatories in the nation. Often referred to as “landscape art under glass."
