Things To Do
The J. Parker
Located on the rooftop of Hotel Lincoln, J. Parker offers stunning views of Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan. It's one of our favorite spots for cocktails and is also a great option for brunch before or after the wedding festivities.
Americano, Lincoln Park
Just steps from Hotel Lincoln, Americano is a neighborhood favorite for coffee, breakfast, lunch, and casual bites throughout the day.
Colectivo Coffee Lincoln Park
A short walk from the hotel, Colectivo Coffee Lincoln Park is one of our favorite neighborhood coffee spots. Stop by for coffee, breakfast, pastries, or a quick bite.
Lincoln Park & The Zoo
Just a short walk from our reception venue, Lincoln Park Zoo is one of our go-to spots — and it’s free! The surrounding park has gorgeous views of the skyline and Lake Michigan.
Old Town
Charming streets with boutiques, bars, and comedy clubs like The Second City. We love grabbing dinner and drinks at Corcoran’s, a laid-back neighborhood sports bar, or enjoying the best Italian dishes at Topo Gigio. For your morning coffee or a quick snack, Foxtrot and La Fournette are our go-to spots.
Chicago Architecture Boat Tour
If you only have time for one “touristy” thing, make it the Chicago Architecture River Cruise. Even lifelong Chicagoans love it. You’ll cruise down the river, learn about the city’s incredible architecture, and see some of the best skyline views in the world.
Millennium Park & The Bean
Snap a photo at Cloud Gate and stroll through the park. Stop by the Chicago Jazz Festival, a Labor Day weekend tradition in Millennium Park!
