Meg DeMaar & Michael Tjaden
Things To Do
Sheffield's Wine & Beer Garden
The location of Meg and Michael's first date in December 2020 and the greatest sweet potato fries in the city. Strategically secretly located 2 buildings away from Meg's old apartment just in case her Hinge date did not live up to expectations and she had to flee... Safe to say he far exceeded expectations and she did not have to run home early. An easy CTA brown line ride up to Belmont to explore the Lakeview and Wrigley area where Meg and Michael spent their early dates.
Kerryman Irish Bar & Restaurant
"What are you doing here on a weekday? You're my Sunday people" - a direct quote from Meg and Michael's favorite Kerryman bartender, Marie. Michael's favorite place in River North to rehydrate with a Guinness after Sunday's Yoga Sculpt class. Meg's favorite place for a turkey club sandwich.
Momotaro
Conveniently located around the corner from the Hoxton hotel, Izakaya is a speakeasy below Momotaro, where Michael loves to try the sake flights and Meg loves to sip the sake-tini. Warning: too many sake drinks from Izakaya will have you almost buying a puppy from a random man in the street outside the bar.
CorePower Yoga
Meg has taught at (and dragged Michael to) all the CorePower's across the city. The West Loop location is conveniently close to the Hoxton if you are looking to sweat out those welcome night drinks before the wedding day celebration. Meg will be teaching a class Friday morning at 7:15am in Gold Coast. If any guests arrive into town early, Meg would love to have you in class :)
Time Out Market Chicago
When Meg and Michael aren't at the Kerryman post Sunday Sculpt, they can be found at Time Out Market. The food stalls have options for any taste/mood. Bill Kim Ramen Bar and Avli are the couple's go to choices.
Lazy Bird
Cocktail and music lounge conveniently located on the lower level of The Hoxton. Received a 10/10 ranking on Meg's espresso martini review scale.
Tiny Tapp & Café
The Loop area and Riverwalk are just a quick Pink Line ride from West Loop! On the River Walk you will find Tiny Tapp, one of Meg and Michael's favorite places to stop for a spicy margarita while taking a walk along the river.
Big City Pickle - Fulton Market
Right next to the Hoxton Hotel and a great way to get some activity in before the ceremony!
