Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Robyn Schmutte and Michael Ceraulo

We’re so excited to share a few of our favorite places in Chicago with you. I'd be lying if I didn't say that our trips to Chicago predominantly revolve around two things. The first, and god willing, this is applicable in late October, is The Cubs. If miraculously they find themselves winning the pennant, let it be known now that we won't begrudge anyone who skips out on the wedding for the World Series; Michael and I may even join you. The second thing we plan our visits around, and no surprise here, is food. Our visits tend to be carefully constructed gastronomic tours, a mashup of stops at our GOAT list of restaurants and bars, places we dream about for the rest of the year, and the latest must-try culinary destinations before they're featured on the latest season of The Bear. Truly, this city has a remarkable number of places to indulge and imbibe, so enjoy. We're not entirely food-obsessed Philistines, so we've also included some cultural sites and attractions we love.

One of the great Art museums in the country, an exquisite collection of both modern and classic artwork. Be sure to check out the miniature gallery as well.
