Things To Do
Logan Square
Looking to enjoy a Saturday night out on the town before our big day? For the quintessential Amanda & Heather experience, check out Logan Square! There is a free parking lot located behind Cafe Con Leche. Grab some dinner at The Harding Tavern, a martini or dessert at Saba, and a beer & shot at The Walk In. Enjoy a true Chicago neighborhood experience, just like the locals do.
Lincoln Park
Strap on your walking shoes and take a stroll through the historic Lincoln Park Zoo for FREE! While in the neighborhood, check out Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company—Heather’s favorite restaurant. It is highly recommended that you arrive early… and bring cash!
Andersonville
Do you love art, books, and mom and pop shops? You can find the perfect souvenir to take home from Andersonville Galleria, ENJOY Andersonville, RAYGUN, and more! We also recommend grabbing a bite to eat at Lady Gregory’s, then hitting up Farraguts, the local dive bar. Pool and darts await!
Boystown
Celebrate Pride anytime of the year on Halsted! Getting an early(ish) start to the day? Say it with us: B-R-U-N-C-H! Just be mindful of those bottomless mimosas… they’ll getcha. Dance the night away at Roscoe’s or Progress, or enjoy some arcade games and a boilermaker at Replay. Wrigley Field is also just down the street. Go Cubs!
Dorothy
Dorothy's is a 70s inspired speakeasy located right underneath Villanelle. It is one of (only) 32 lesbian bars in the United States, and all are welcome! We visited here the night we got engaged, and it is also where we had our Save The Date photoshoot. This spot holds a special place in our hearts.
