Things To Do
The J. Parker
At the top of Hotel Lincoln is the J. Parker, a rooftop bar overlooking the Chicago Skyline and Lincoln Park Zoo. Our first Rooftop together in the city!
R.J. Grunts
Home of the first salad bar and malts so big, we skipped our dinner reservations after a lovely walk through Lincoln Park and the Zoo
Lincoln Park Zoo
Lincoln Park Zoo is one of our favorite places to spend a nice day, and best of all...it's free!
Geja's Cafe
Fondue galore - celebrated Hannah's birthday with wine, cheese, and chocolate
Osteria Via Stato
What's a Valentine's Day without a little excitement? In the middle of dinner, a candle was dangerously close to decor on the mantel. Dessert was on the house after Erion caught the the small blaze early and put the fire out with his napkin.
The Dock at Montrose Beach
Our easy spot to sit and sip a drink after beach volleyball with our friends. Watch the sunset, listen to the live band, and enjoy the simple pleasures of Chicago's beaches
Swift Tavern - Wrigleyville
We've had many a morning brunch and late evening at Swift and Sons- whether it is a recovery brunch or oysters after a night at Wrigley Field, Swift and Sons has capped off many happy memories for us, and it's just up the street from our venue!
RPM Seafood
Maybe the best Valentine's Day dinner ever- RPM Seafood definitely needs an RSVP, but wow is it amazing! If you go, try the oysters and thank me later.
AfterBar
Many folks know about Ever, the two-star Michelin restaurant featured on The Bear. Next door, the same level of grace an exaction is dedicated to amazing drinks at "After" - one of the most refined, beautiful experiences in the city.
Simon's Tavern
Simon's is the absolute best dive in the city! If you know, you know.
Svea Restaurant
Our favorite cozy breakfast spot, with some of the best authentic Swedish pancakes you will have outside of Sweden.
The Green Mill
The Green Mill used to be one of Al Capone's favorite spots for live jazz. Turns out we can attest to his great taste.
Wrigley Field
What is not to love about the Friendly Confines? Go Cubs Go!
The Brewed
Spooky Coffee?! A little something for Hannah, and a little something for Erion.
Graveface Chicago
If you are anything like Hannah and love the weird, you NEED to check out this incredible spot.
The Book Cellar
Just like Hannah and Erion, a good book paired with a good bottle of wine is a match made in heaven.
Biggs Mansion Chicago
Kick back with a cigar and a little scotch after a long day of exploring the city
