Things To Do

Cindy's Rooftop

The roof where we got engaged! Also a super trendy rooftop and an incredible view of the lake!

Federales

"Come here anti-sober with a group of friends, order a round of tequila shots that come in shot glasses made of ice, and throw them at the bell they have set up outside for just that. And if you’re hungry, grab some tacos to soak up the booze." - theinfatuation.com

Cloud Gate

Houston has its own Bean but this Bean is the more iconic bean!

Lake Michigan

Beautiful walk along the water, and also one of the Great Lakes!

Taqueria Los Comales

Best Mexican in Chicago, located in the Pilsen neighborhood.

Au Cheval

Best. Burger. Ever. Usually a ~3 hours wait but plenty of other bars nearby. If you don't have time, stop by one of the several Small Cheval locations serving up a quicker version of the same tasty meal.

ROOF on theWit

The roof bar of the hotel where our reception will be held.

City Winery

Wine on the river.

Wendella Boats

Take a famous Chicago Architecture Boat Tour.

O.m.g. the pizza pot pie is amazing. Cash only and wait 2+ hours in rush time but worth it.

Beatrix

A favorite restaurant

SWEAT - Fitness Studios Gold Coast

Our usual gym! Sign up for a drop in class if you want a killer HIIT workout while in Chicago.

95th floor of the former Hancock building. Expensive, but grab a drink for the views.

North Avenue Beach

Yes, Chicago is a beach town! And Lake Michigan is great to swim in.

Fingers and Toes Studio

If you need a mani/pedi while you're in town, this is Hanna's go-to salon. Tell the owner (Hana!) that the Bride sent you.
