Question

What is there to do in Chicago while we're not enjoying wedding festivities?

Answer

There is SO MUCH to do in Chicago! The Riverwalk is a MUST and will be gorgeous in September with lots of outdoor restaurants and bars. We recommend checking out the lakefront path for a walk, run, or bike. If you're staying at the W Lakeshore there is a Lakefront underpass entrance at Ohio street and Lakeshore drive. Some of our favorite restaurants are Duck Duck Goat, Gilt Bar, Girl and Goat, London House Rooftop for cocktails and views, Bombay wraps for a quick bite, and Siri Indian Restaurant.
