Things To Do
Daisies
One of our favorite spots in Chicago. Great pasta and drinks!
Spacca Napoli Pizzeria
Best pizza in Chicago according to us. Neapolitan style, NOT deep dish!
Gene & Jude's
Best hot dog in Chicago. A little bit of a hike from where we're staying but definitely a true Chicago experience! Fries come on the dog, don't even ask for ketchup--they don't have any.
Billy Goat Tavern (The Original)
Get at least a double cheezborger!!
Krung Thep Thai Cuisine
Our favorite Thai spot in Chicago! Can't recommend enough. Fantastic pad Thai!

Griffin Museum of Science and Industry
Tori's absolute favorite museum in Chicago. It's perfect for all ages and I promise it's incredibly fun and immersive. $25.85 for adults, $14.95 for kids.
