Things To Do
Small Cheval
Quick Eats: This is our favorite burger in the city! There's a few locations, but the Wicker Park location has elite french fries. Trust us.
Trivoli Tavern
Treat Yourself: If you have never been to Chicago before, spend a night out in the West Loop! We recommend keeping an eye out for reservations. However, if you're content with sitting on the patio, walking in should work just fine. Must try: vodka rigatoni!
Will's Northwoods Inn
Great for Groups: We have literally never had a bad time at Will's—it's our neighborhood go-to! Order some brewskis, cheese curds, and wings. Don't be taken back by the Wisconsin decor, we are a Chicago Bears household.
Chicago Cubs Game
Top Pick: Our favorite place in the whole entire world! Unfortunately, the Cubs will be on the road leading up to our wedding, but you're in luck as they'll be back in town the Tuesday after. Wrigley Field has rich history, and we highly recommend taking the ballpark tour.
Fireside Bowl
Local Gem: If you're in search of an authentic, old-school favorite, look no further. This place is the epitome of Chicago charm. On Thursday nights, you'll even catch David here, knocking down pins with the boys!
Friday Morning Swim Club
Unique Experience: During the summer, Chicagoans gather at Montrose Harbor on Fridays at 7 AM to jump into Lake Michigan. Grab a cheap floatie at Target and bring a mug if you want free coffee!
Museum Campus
Rainy Day Must: Chicago’s Museum Campus houses three of the city’s leading institutions all in one place. Spend a day exploring natural history and world cultures at Field Museum, underwater worlds at the Shedd Aquarium, and far-out galaxies at the Adler Planetarium.
