Things to do and places to eat
Hoyt's Chicago
Restaurant in the Royal Sonesta Hotel
Goddess and the Baker, Riverfront
Great coffee and pastries downtown Chicago not too far from the Royal Sonesta.
Sapori Trattoria
One of our favorite restaurants for birthdays, date nights, and other special occasions. The tiramisu is the best and Caitlin loves the rigatoni bolognese
Mott St
Another favorite for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. The Burger is one of the best in Chicago and the Fire Chicken is Sam's personal favorite
Esencia Urban Kitchen
Our neighborhood brunch location. When we first started dating we came here every Saturday.
Avli on The Park
Fantastic Greek food and one of our favorites
Chicago Architecture Tour
Highly recommend if this is your first trip to Chicago! It is a great way to see the city and learn about the history!
Chicago Riverwalk
Lakefront Trail
We love walking the lakefront trail. The section up by our apartment is where Sam proposed.
Millennium Park
Check out Millennium Park and the famous "Bean"!
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Levain Bakery – River North, Chicago
Caitlin's favorite spot for cookies! Try the chocolate peanut butter or the original chocolate chip walnut!
