Faizan & Alaa
Things To Do
Enjoy the beach and lakefront trail
Picnics by the lake are one of our favorite date activities. Walks and biking on the lakefront trail never get old. Shooting hoops at the famous Foster Beach as seen in NBA Street Vol. 2 is one of Faizan's favorite Summer pastimes.
Summertime Concerts
We love going to concerts, especially in the summertime, when Chicago hosts great artists seemingly every week. The Riviera and the Aragon were walking distance from Faizan's old apartment in Edgewater and are two of our favorite venues with plenty of great food in the area. P.S. -- Jorja Smith performs at the Salt Shed a few days before our reception.
Explore the diverse Chicago food scene
Chicago is home to so many diverse communities and delicious food. From South Asian food on Devon Street, Thai and Vietnamese food on Argyle Street, Mexican food in Pilsen, dumplings in Chinatown, Ethiopian food in Uptown, or one of Chicago's famous steakhouses, burgers, or pizza joints, you can't go wrong and there is something for every mood. Below are some of our favorite places: Burgers - Little Bad Wolf Thai Food - MuanJai Thai Kitchen Mediterranean - Aba Pizza - Milly's Pizza in the Pan Steakhouse - Gibson's Steakhouse Sushi - Blowfish Sushi & Ramen
