3rd Coast Cafe

Popular Gold Coast coffee shop. Good luck pronouncing the street it's on: Goethe

3 Arts Club Cafe at RH Chicago

1300 North Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60610

Beautifully light and airy, this spot in Gold Coast is good for a quick coffee stop or a longer brunch.

Batter & Berries

2748 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

This brunch spot in Lincoln Park is black-owned and run, best known for their french toast flight and brisket hash. Get there early to put your name on the list and take a walk through the neighborhood while you wait!

Summer House Santa Monica

This restaurant has a light and airy feel, just like their menu. Offers menus for brunch and dinner.

Blue Door Kitchen & Garden

52 West Elm Street, Chicago, IL 60610

Always a crowd favorite, this restaurant offers great salads and classic American food.

Galit

2429 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

This James Beard award winning restaurant serves Middle Eastern fare. The hummus and the salatine are a favorite of the couple.

Pequod's Pizza

2207 North Clybourn Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

Rose's favorite pizza, skip the deep dish and go straight to the thin crust!

Athenian Room

807 West Webster Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

A childhood favorite of Rose's, the gyros and avgolemeno are always stand out choices. Great for a casual bite to eat.

The Berghoff Restaurant

17 West Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60603

A Chicago staple - a Piros fave that Rose frequented as a child and that ML took Caroline's grandparents to visit when she lived here. We recommend the root beer!

Billy Goat Tavern (The Original)

Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611

A Chicago institution located in the *literal* depths of the city and the infamous (and very confusing for driving) Lower Wacker. This is also Bob's favorite bar!

Utopian Tailgate

1608 North Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60614

A bar located on top of Second City - the renowned comedy theater in Chicago. Home to some of the best city views.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Chicago, IL 60614

Located directly next to the ceremony venue, this is a popular tourist stop. Perfect outdoor activity for a fall day.

The Art Institute of Chicago

111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

Chicago's premier art museum. Check out the gorgeous addition of the modern wing and then take a stroll in Millenium Park.

Cloud Gate

Chicago, IL 60602

Rose's least favorite Chicago attraction, also known as "The Bean." Or "El Frijol." It's basically a hunk of metal that you can also use to pick spinach out of your teeth, but the adjacent park is worth it.

Garfield Park Conservatory

300 North Central Park Avenue, Chicago, IL 60624

We're clearly a fan of conservatories. Garfield Park is Lincoln Park's larger and older brother.

Frederick C. Robie House

5757 South Woodlawn Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637

Experience Caroline's favorite architect with a tour of one of his most well known houses.

Chicago Architecture River Cruise

Riverwalk, Chicago, IL 60611

A great way to learn about Chicago's architectural history from the unique vantage point of the Chicago River.

Shedd Aquarium

1200 South DuSable Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605

Swim with the fish, but not in the Al Capone sense, and explore the various rooms at The Shedd.

The Second City

230 West North Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

Take in a great show at the place that helped launch the likes of Tina Fey, Bill Murray, and Jordan Peele.
