Great for brunch/lunch! Walking distance from the church.
Near the church, great lunch spot. Spanish menu, with tapas and sangria.
Matt's favorite bar, walking distance from the church. Lots of beer options, but be prepared for heavy metal playing in the background.
An Irish pub right down the street from the Church, stop in for lunch and/or a beer!
Maura and Matt's favorite bakery! Walking distance from the church. Highly recommend the frosted rice crispy treats or frosted sugar cookies.
About a mile walk from the church, totally free
If you've never walked along the Chicago Lakefront or walked through Lincoln Park, it is definitely worth the trek over from the church (it's a little less than a mile). Even in November you're likely to see plenty of people out running, biking, or hanging out along the "beach."
A great rooftop bar, in between the church and reception venue, overlooking Millennium Park. While you're there check out the game room on the second floor for pool, bocce, foosball and good snacks and drinks.
Walking distance from the hotel and reception venue. great brunch/lunch spot!
The hotel and reception venue are located on the edge of Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood. Feel free to explore for some authentic Chinese food!
