Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria
FAVORITE DEEP DISH PIZZA Looking to try Chicago’s famous DEEP DISH pizza? Lou’s is one of our favorites! Be sure to try The Lou Deep Dish w/ ButterCrust & the Malnati salad. Warning: One slice goes a long way! There are multiple locations so it’s easy to find one closest to you.
Shoreline Sightseeing
We highly recommend taking a tour of the famous architecture that our city is known for during your visit. Book a reservation EARLY, look out for deals on Groupon, and make sure to check the weather so you’re prepared!
The Violet Hour
FAVORITE COCKTAIL BAR This is an amazing speakeasy / cocktail bar where Janina and I had our first date and where she proposed.
Au Cheval (or Small Cheval)
FAVORITE BURGER Looking for our favorite burger in the city? You've found it! But go early or be prepared to wait! * If you would like to skip the wait and are okay with a more casual atmosphere, check out their "Small Cheval" locations at http://smallcheval.com
Smoke Daddy BBQ - Wrigleyville
FAVORITE BLOODY MARY Also the biggest bang for your buck brunch spot! $35 will get you UNLIMITED food & drinks (Bloody Marys & Mimosas) Sat & Sun from 10am-2pm. * Keep in mind that there are two locations, one in Wrigleyville and one in Wicker Park.
Smoque BBQ
FAVORITE BBQ JOINT No frills type of place. Be prepared to sit in cafeteria style seating and to get your hands dirty. Not only does Smoque have great BBQ, it’s also BYOB!
Revolution Brewing - Brewery & Taproom
FAVORITE CRAFT BREWERY & TOUR Check out the brewery and stop by for a tour! If you'd rather just sit and taste, you can also go to their restaurant that’s a short Uber/Lyft ride away!
