Things To Do
Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours
This is #1 on every list of 'things to do in Chicago' for a reason -- it really is that great! We have done this multiple times and always learn something new about our favorite city.
Chicago Riverwalk
Enjoy the Chicago Riverwalk with tons of restaurants, wineries, and places to sit! Great people watching - we always take the river path whenever possible.
Millennium Park
During the summer Millennium puts on all kinds of free shows and events - they have one of the most beautiful lawns to sit and enjoy! Highly recommend BYOCB (bring your own charcuterie board) for any of their nightly events, or going to their morning workout classes. This was Owie's (Phoebe's grandma) favorite spot!
Chicago Air and Water Show
Our wedding is on Chicago Air and Water show weekend, so we highly recommend getting outside and enjoying some of the show! Anywhere near the lake (Oak Street Beach, Fullerton Avenue, and North Avenue Beach) provides a great view.
Ema
Ema is one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago - we went there the night we got engaged to celebrate! They also have a partner restaurant in West Loop called Aba that is equally great.
Pequod's Pizza
If you are wanting to try deep dish pizza, Pequod's Pizza is our favorite. They are famous for a very thick, caramelized crust.
Farm Bar Lakeview
Another one of our favorite restaurants! All farm-to-table dishes with a rotating seasonal menu, you truly cannot go wrong here!
