Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Emily Altimari and David Lutz
It goes without saying that our favorite things to do in the city are visit the Bean and have a nice slice of deep dish pizza while watching the Bears, Sox, Cubs, Bulls and Hawks, however if you're not in the mood for that, here's what we also like to do.

Ava's Italian Ice

1814 North Western Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647

The freshest and cleanest Italian ice that somehow tastes more like the fruit than the fruit itself.

Amaru

1904 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
, (773) 687-9790

Get the house punch...and literally everything else on the menu.

Bloomingdale Trail and Park

West Bloomingdale Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647
, (773) 295-2362

David recommends rollerblading shirtless on the 606, but if that's not your bag, then it's a great place for a stroll.

Electric Mud Coffee Bar

1856 North Western Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647
, (773) 698-6086

Though it gives her gastrointestinal distress and anxiety, and the apathetic baristas hate her energy, Emily goes to Dark Matter almost every day. Get the Chocolate City cold brew.

Lincoln Park Zoo

2001 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60614
, (312) 742-2000

This wedding is literally sponsored by Lincoln Park Zoo.

Piccolo Sogno

464 North Halsted Street, Chicago, IL 60642
, (312) 421-0077

One of our favorite Italian joints in the city. Mangia!

Black Dog Gelato

859 North Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
, (773) 235-3116

What can we say, we're good eaters! We like this place, too!

Yuzu Sushi & Robata Grill

1751 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
, (312) 666-4100

Emily thinks sushi is bird food, but David says this is the best sushi in the city.

Antico

1946 North Leavitt Street, Chicago, IL 60647
, (773) 489-4895

Our other favorite neighborhood spot for Italian. When you're there, you're family (without the unlimited breadsticks).

Sportsman's Club

948 North Western Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
, (872) 206-8054

You could bring a polaroid camera to this bar and not be the only person who brought a polaroid camera to this bar. It's vibey, divey and has a cool back patio. Plus, it's on beautiful Western Ave.

Cira

200 North Green Street, Chicago, IL 60607
, (312) 761-1777

A divine mediterranean restaurant in the bottom of The Hoxton hotel.
