Things To Do
Brunch Recommendation - The Original Pancake House
This is one of our favorites for breakfast! Everything along the lines of pancakes, skillets, omelets, you name it!
Brunch Recommendation - Goddess and the Baker
A great brunch spot. Fun fact, Erik took Jake here the morning of their engagement day!
Brunch Recommendation - Eleven City Diner
Our favorite Jewish Deli in the city!
Lunch Recommendation - Portillos
This is a classic Chicago spot - Italian beef sandwiches, burgers, ribs, hot dogs, and more. Our favorites are the Italian Beef and the Chopped Salad!
Lunch Recommendation - Lou Malnati's Deep Dish Pizza
Another Chicago staple - deep dish pizza! This is our favorite specifically, but Giordano's is delicious as well!
Lakefront Trail
Beautiful walking trail along Lake Michigan... a convenient entrance is at the Oak Street or Division Street underpasses. Check out North Avenue Beach where Erik popped the question!
Lincoln Park Zoo
One of our favorite spots to walk through in any season - beautiful scenes of nature, foliage, and parks.
Chicago River Architecture Boat Tour
This is one of our favorite things to do in Chicago! You'll get a guided tour of more than 40 notable buildings like Navy Pier, the Wrigley Building, and the John Hancock Building. Cover all three branches of the Chicago River, passing the East Bank Club, the old Post Office Building and the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower).
The Art Institute of Chicago
Check out the amazing and beautiful pieces of art the Chicago Art Institute holds.
