Things To Do
Architecture River Tour
Board a riverboat to learn stories behind Chicago's skyline via an expert tour guide. This is a great way to see the city and learn some history from a unique perspective!
The Art Institute of Chicago
Located in the heart of Grant Park, this world renowned museum features works by Monet, Picasso and ancient cultures alongside modern installations. Stare at George Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon painting and pretend you are in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Do not miss the Thorne Miniature Rooms exhibit.
The Second City
This legendary improv theater is a quintessential Chicago night out for fans of comedy and live performance. We would recommend seeing a show on the ETC or Main Stage for the best experience!
Three Dots and a Dash
An award winning tiki bar located in an underground speakeasy!
Andersonville
We love this neighborhood! Great to just walk down N Ashland Avenue and window shop the local businesses. Our favorite places are Foursided, The Brown Elephant, Hopleaf, and The Understudy!
Chicago Magic Lounge
Hidden behind the façade of a vintage laundromat in Andersonville, the Art Deco-inspired theater treats guests to an evening of Chicago’s magic bar scene.
Cheesie's Pub & Grub - Lakeview
Perfect for a quick, casual bite or late night snack.
Shedd Aquarium
Right on Lake Michigan with incredible views, this is easy to pair with a walk along the water or time at another museum in the Museum Campus (The Field Museum, Adler Planetarium).
Green Street Smoked Meats
Delicious barbecue in a great area -- The West Loop. This neighborhood has lots of great restaurants to explore as well.
Museum of Science and Industry
Housed in a dramatic 1893 World's Fair building, this science museum is huge and fun even for adults.
Cozy Noodles n' Rice
Our favorite Thai restaurant! We recommend their Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, and Crab Rangoons (which will be featured at our reception).
Hopleaf
Great selection of beer and very tasty Belgian-inspired menu. We recommend the mussels, the fries, and the CB&J.
360 Chicago
Head up 94 floors for views of the city and Lake Michigan.
Steingold’s Bagels & Nosh
Our favorite bagels in Chicago!
