The Art Institute is definitely one of our favorite places to visit in the city!
We love exploring Andersonville and visiting the thrift store, book store, boutiques, bakeries, and cafes in this neighborhood. Take the Red Line, bus, or drive several miles north of downtown and explore Clark St. from Lawrence to Bryn Mawr.
Lincoln Park Zoo is Chicago's free zoo, and is always worth a visit. See the lions (they were cubs a few years ago!), otters, African penguins, and more. Plus, if you follow the Nature Boardwalk, you can see the pavilion where Eli proposed to Annie!
Cool underground tiki bar in only a few blocks away from the wedding venue. It's a favorite of Eli and Annie and we went with friends the night Eli proposed! Reservations are required to get a table.
