Things To Do
Gene & Georgetti
Our favorite! We met each other's parents here, celebrated our graduation here, and celebrated passing the bar here. Incredible steaks and pastas. Perfect for a nice dinner. Located right across the street from the church we are getting married at.
Dining Room At Kendall College
Kendall College is fine dining with a twist. Culinary students take your order and prepare your meal (all three courses!) We love coming here to celebrate special events, but make sure you make a reservation! They fill up in advance.
Pequod's Pizza
Pequod's is our absolute favorite for Chicago deep dish pizza. Make sure you make a reservation because it gets packed.
Wrigley Field
The first week we met we got lost in Wrigley Field together. Now, we go all the time! If you're staying in Chicago for a long weekend, make sure you try to catch a game to cheer on the Cubbies.
Raymond's Tacos on Damen
We went here on our first date! Grace was so nervous she forgot how to eat tacos. Ray's is counter service, cash only, and perfect for a quick bite. It's a great way to see a glimpse of Pilsen, a Mexican neighborhood on the south side of Chicago.
The Wiener's Circle
Grace threw Jacob a surprise birthday party here! They do a great Chicago style hot dog. The staff are known for being mean, so you know the food must be good.
North Avenue Beach
Chicago beaches are beautiful. North Avenue is great for soaking up the sun, walking the lakeshore trail, or even swimming in Lake Michigan, which is slightly less freezing in August.
