Gabrielle & Darren

Cocktails & Cuisine

For those of you who don't know, we LOVE to eat and drink (some might even call us foodies!) so we feel very passionate about the amazing places Chicago has to offer! Below are some of our favorites that we would suggest for your weekend in Chicago and we highly recommend booking a reservation sooner rather than later. Things to do that aren't cocktails or cuisine (if you're into that sort of thing) that we suggest, include: - Visit Wrigleyville to see the Cubs stadium (it's overall just a fun neighborhood to explore & walk around) - Wendella Chicago Architecture River Boat Tour (https://www.wendellaboats.com/) - Visit Lincoln Park Zoo (it's beautiful... and free!) - Chicago Museums - we are embarrassed to say we have only been to the Art Institute of Chicago (highly suggest) but there are tons of other museums we have heard great things about! (google is your friend here :)) Feel free to reach out to us directly if you need help planning your weekend!
