Things To Do
Lollapalooza
Lollapalooza will be happening the weekend of our wedding! We would be so excited if you went - any day except Saturday! Experience four days of live music and unique experience of downtown Chicago. Fair warning, you'll be adding some extra traffic and chaos to your day - so be aware.
Half Acre
Half Acre is our favorite brewery in the neighborhood! We highly recommend stopping by to try one of their beers.
Dark Matter Coffee
Our favorite coffee in Chicago. Check out the Star Lounge for a truly unique array of caffeinated concoctions.
The Beach!
Miami isn't the only major city with a beach running alongside it! Summer in Chicago is magical - check out the beaches alongside Lake Michigan at Foster Beach, Hollywood Beach, or North Avenue Beach. The lakefront path also offers dedicated bike and walking/running paths.
The Green Mill
A north side institution, the Green Mill used to be a Prohibition-era hangout for Al Capone and feature live jazz every night! Alex and Laura had some of their first conversations here over elegant cocktails. Cash only, so be prepared.
