Things To Do
Steak 48
Our annual valentine's date! Expensive, but best steak in the city!
Gilt Bar
Brooke's #1 burger in the city! Plan ahead and make a reservation if you want to try it, or try going in right at opening at 4 PM.
Kirkwood
Our first date spot. A great bar for Husker and Hoosier fans!
Matisse Tavern & Grill
The most common place we take visitors because it’s right down the street from us and we love a good burger!
Galway Bay
Our local dive bar.
Aloha Eats
Chicago has excellent Hawaiian food! (We have never been to Hawaii)
Akiro
We first went here in Barcelona and are so lucky they opened up a location in Chicago!
Hiro Bar Izakaya
Very new #2 burger on Brooke’s list!
Pequod's Pizza
Our favorite pizza in the city. We even have some artwork of it at our condo!
Beacon Doughnuts
Best sweet treat in the city and they are surprisingly vegan although they don't taste like it!
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Another one of our favorite sweet treats in the city.
Portillo's & Barnelli's Chicago
A chicago classic.
Lincoln Park Zoo
Free! And a quick walk on the lakefront from here is one of our favorite morning activities.
Concerts at Wrigley Field
There are some great artists coming to perform at wrigley the week of our wedding - Tyler Childers and Noah Kahan will be there the following days. We have seen Fall Out Boy and Pearl Jam here! Highly recommend adding this to your plans if you are extending your trip.
