Ascione is our go-to recommendation for any mealtime delight. It holds a special place in our hearts as the spot of our second date, and we've been enamored with it ever since. Their weekend brunch is simply divine, featuring mouthwatering options paired with $18 bottomless mimosas for two hours. Whether it's lunch or dinner, you're in for a treat with their fantastic menu offerings. While they switch things up every few months, if you spot the crab cakes or grilled octopus as appetizers, don't hesitate—they're guaranteed to be a flavor sensation you won't forget!
Searching for a romantic dining spot? Look no further than Bistronomic. This place holds a special spot in our hearts as it witnessed some of our first moments together. From celebrating our first anniversary to Will's adventurous first taste of escargot, it's been a journey of love and flavor. Trust us, the escargot is a must-try appetizer!
The Brunchery, formerly known as France's, is a must-visit spot. Their French toast is simply divine, and we can't recommend it enough. It holds a special memory for us: months after Sydney moved to Chicago, Nailah came to visit, and this charming eatery was their first stop together. With its delicious food and cozy atmosphere, we're confident you'll love it just as much as we do.
Welcome to Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours! We’re proud to present you with an in-depth, expert architectural-based river boat tour that delves into one of the most remarkable American cities today. Chicago is known around the world for its architectural feats, both inside and outside of the buildings. From the 100-year-old Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Gothic Towers, to some of the tallest modern-day skyscrapers, Chicago is where old meets futuristic architectural endeavors. It has something for everyone in a way that no other city replicates today.
The Chicago Riverwalk is a scenic pedestrian path along the Chicago River in downtown Chicago. It's a vibrant waterfront area filled with restaurants, cafes, bars, parks, and stunning views of the city's architecture. The Riverwalk is a popular spot for leisurely walks, dining, boat tours, and various outdoor activities, offering a beautiful experience.
For late-night cravings, this pizza joint is a gem! It's Sydney's favorite spot, and despite common perceptions, she swears by Detroit-style deep dish over Chicago's. But it's not just Sydney; she also got Will on the wave. Whenever we've had a long week, it's our go-to for chilling and playing video games together. Top recommendation? The 8-corner pizza with sausage and pepperoni—it never disappoints. Oh! And did we mention that they are open until 3am?
If you're in the mood for some amazing Chinese takeout, you've got to give this place a try! It's a gem that's received a Michelin Star every year since 2019, and it's one of our favorite spots for Chinese cuisine nearby. Plus, we recently shared this place with Eric and Ayanna when our siblings met for the first time over Sunday dinner, making it even more special to us. Despite not being St. Louis Chinese food, we give it a solid 10/10 recommendation. Their General Tso's chicken, combination fried rice, and egg rolls are absolute must-tries. And trust us, the portions are generous—enough to satisfy two hungry souls!
Experience the charm of Navy Pier with its amazing restaurants, cool bars, shopping spots, live music, and even boat rides. But the real highlight? Every Wednesday and Saturday at 10 pm, catch a stunning fireworks show right by the water. It’s the perfect end to a fantastic day!
Looking for the perfect spot to soak up some sun and fun? Look no further than North Avenue Beach. With its tropical vibes, you'll forget you're even in Chicago. From beachside restaurants and bars to jet ski rentals and sand volleyball courts, there's no shortage of activities to enjoy. Plus, this beach holds another special place in our hearts—it's where we captured some unforgettable moments during our engagement photoshoot.
This is Will’s preferred fried chicken establishment, a reliable choice when craving a savory meal. We highly recommend the 6-piece fried hard (you have to say “fried hard” trust us!) with the lemon pepper seasoning and a side of fries.
