Things To Do

Maggie Daley Park *

We proposed to each other in Maggie Daley park after a weekend of exploring our favorite spots. Located in downtown Chicago, near Millennium Park, including the Bean, Navy Pier, and the Art Institute of Chicago, this is also a great place to go for some sightseeing and tourism.

The Catcade - Cat Cafe & Rescue *

If you want to see the place that rescued Keith and Saffron, plus thousands of other cats, check out The Catcade. In this palace of fluff, you can hang out and pet cats.

The 606 Bloomingdale Trail Bridge *

This restored train line is now one of the most beautiful walking trails in Chicago, running from Ashland Ave to Ridgeway Ave. There are plenty of exits to shopping districts, bars, and restaurants all along the trail.

North Park Village Nature Center

Wicker Park Farmers Market

Check out one of our favorite places to go on a chill Sunday. We love grabbing a bagel sandwich, tamale, or crepe while we shop for produce, pastries, and surprise treats.

Tapster This unique bar in Wicker Park allows you to pour your own drinks with a charge card, mostly beer with a few wine and mixed drink options while offering board games in a chill environment. Violet Hour A Wicker Park classic, this bar has the vibe of an old-school speakeasy, hidden behind a giant mural on Damon St. Red & White Wine A cute wine bar on Milwaukee Ave near the 606, we like to stop here after a long walk in the summer heat. Le Midi A wine store with tables for sampling wine alongside snacks and charcuterie. Gold Star Division Street is full of good bars, Gold Star is one of our favorite dive bars with a pool table. The Up Room On the roof of the Robey Hotel, a great place to grab a drink and take in the skyline. Off Color Brewery We have plenty of good Breweries to check out in Chicago, you might have heard of Goose Island, Lagunitas, Revolution, or Half-Acre, to name a few, but we recommend Off Color Brewing on Kingsbury Street, near Goose Island.
