Sushi on a conveyor belt, what's not to love? This was our first date spot =)
Awesome neighborhood Italian spot with a beautiful outdoor patio!
Chic rooftop bar with incredible city views
Kayaking the Chicago river is one of the most beautiful ways to experience the city!
Boats, buildings, and booze!
Our favorite Chinatown spot for soup dumplings!
Have your Ferris Bueller moment. Saawingg battta.
Our neighborhood coffee shop. It's a bike shop and a cafe. How fun!
Catch some rays and chill. You can also check out Montrose Beach!
Seasonal seafood spot. Our favorite weekday spot for oysters! The brinier the better!
A local favorite and Chicago staple. Tapas and sangria!
One of Chicago's long-time Michelin star tasting menus. Never had a bad experience here!
3 Michelin star restaurant and consistently voted as one of the best restaurants in the world. We are itching to go here and would love to hear about it, if you can swing it!
Rated Best Burger in America! Highly recommend. If you can't get into the main location for table service, the city also has several "Small Chevals" where you can grab the same burger!
Taverna-style eatery serving family-style Greek & Mediterranean comfort food mainstays. Another classic Chicago spot in Greektown!
Trendy Mediterranean spot in West Loop with a nice patio!
Rooftop bar/small bites on the top of Hotel Lincoln (where we have our hotel block). Awesome views of the city/Lincoln Park. You can see our wedding venue from here!
Local favorite deep dish spot! Don't plan on moving much afterwards.
Lou Malnati's is every Chicagoan's favorite deep dish chain. Get the Lou's special =)
Can't go wrong with Chicago steakhouses. Gibsons, Gene and Georgetti, Mastro's, Maple & Ash, etc. Bavette's is one of the trendier spots these days. Would recommend making a reservation months in advance!
