Things To Do
Chicago Riverwalk
Take a stroll along the Chicago river as it opens up into Lake Michigan. Shops, bars and restaurants to be found along the way!
Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours
Our favorite summer activity that we've done more than once - it's that good. Highly recommend!
Millennium Park
Heard of the bean in Chicago? Otherwise known as Cloud Gate, it can be found in Millennium Park along with open green spaces, access to the lakefront and Michigan Avenue
Museum Campus
Looking for a little culture? Check out Museum Campus for access to several of Chicago's most notable museums and places Marisa went to on elementary school field trips - The Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium.
West Loop Neighborhood
Check out this neighborhood for good eats and drinks! Some of our favorite spots are Au Cheval, Green Street Meats, Duck Duck Goat, Federales and The Lone Wolf.
Little Italy
Marisa's Papa's favorites include - Tufano's restaurant, Al's #1 Italian Beef and Mario's Italian Lemonade. Fitting choices for a wedding to a Tarantino!
Our favorite Rooftop Bars
#Summertimechi means rooftop bar season. The Robey in Wicker Park and The J. Parker in Lincoln Park are both fantastic roof top bars to check out offering great skyline views. Nobu in West Loop is a fancier option.
