Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Jena & Ben

Beautiful, old, full of gorgeous plants. Free!

Garfield Park Conservatory

A gorgeous example of classic Chicago architecture. Free admission

Chicago Cultural Center

Delicious, accessible comfort food. Any meal you want, all day long. Good spot to take the kiddos.

Little Goat Diner

Walker Bros. Original Pancake House

Hungover after the wedding? Get yourself a Loretta and Cheesy Hash.

Sarkis Cafe

One of our favorites for a romantic dinner or a boozy brunch. Not kid friendly

Cherry Circle Room

Great for a perfect cocktail and lovely view of Chicago and Lake Michigan

Cindy's Rooftop

Get the $40 Peking duck special, a feast fit for four. You’ll thank us later.

Sun Wah BBQ

One of our local faves. Incredible wine list and locally sourced, seasonal ingredients on their concise menu. Feels like you’re dining in someone’s cozy living room.

Rootstock Wine & Beer Bar

Comprehensive river boat tour of the city’s most iconic buildings.

Chicago Architecture Tours

Latin bar with incredible cocktails. Be careful

Estereo

One of our longtime favorite bars. Lots of gin-based cocktails that change seasonally.

Scofflaw

We’d be remiss to forget this gem. One of the Brieva family favorites in Chicago. Take the kids!

Honey Butter Fried Chicken

You guessed it... another cocktail bar. An incredibly creative and solid drink menu with live music every night. Take caution with these drinks.

The Whistler

A Logan Square standby. Known for delicious woodfired pizza, but our lesser-known fave of theirs is their chicken wings. Kid-friendly.

Reno

Don’t sleep on Evanston’s gorgeous beaches!
