Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Juliet Rose Palko and James William Cummings
There is plenty of time between the ceremony and reception to explore our favorite city, Chicago! Please see below for some of our favorite bars, restaurants, and activities near the ceremony and reception venues. We highly recommend taking a stroll along the River Walk, where many of these options are located!

Pizzeria Portofino

317 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654

Sip on aperol spritzes and watch the boats drive by along the river walk! Don't forget to earn points via the Lettuce Entertain You app.

RPM Seafood

317 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654

We went here with our families after our engagement! Consider ordering Jim's favorites - the focaccia, caesar salad, and black bass. Don't forget to earn points with the Lettuce Entertain You app.

Wendella Tours & Cruises
