Andrew & Alexandra
Things To Do
Edgewater Tacos
Our first date spot and still one of our favorite takeout places in the city.
Ekiben
Our second date spot and where Andrew proposed! It is one of our favorite sushi restaurants in Chicago.
Lady Gregory’s
The place our families first met! We love the shepherd’s pie, French onion soup, and the pies they bring in from the local pie shop (First Slice) just around the corner.
Kite String
A favorite neighborhood bar down the road from our church with homemade taquitos and a vegan nacho dip so good you genuinely won’t believe it’s vegan.
Beermiscuous
The longtime home of Alex’s monthly book club and a great nearby place to relax with a drink between festivities.
Bartoli's Pizzeria
Andrew’s favorite neighborhood pizza spot- in case one Chicago pizza experience isn’t enough!
Chicago Magic Lounge
Part speakeasy, part magic show, this unique Chicago experience features close-up performances, cocktails, and a vintage-inspired atmosphere with ties to Harry Houdini and Chicago’s magic history.
Chicago Architecture Boat Tour
One of the best ways to see the city and a must for first-time visitors and locals alike!
Museum Campus
Home to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and some of our favorite skyline views in the city. Be sure to check museum websites for hours, tickets, and special exhibits.
Museum of Science & Industry
A little farther south, but one of Chicago’s most iconic museums and well worth the trip if you have extra time in the city.
Bookclub Chicago
In addition to hosting our reception, Bookclub regularly features live music, comedy, and other events. Check their calendar to see what’s happening during wedding weekend.
Edgewater Candles
A cozy local candle shop offering handcrafted candles and occasional candle-making classes.
Explore Andersonville
One of Alex’s favorite Chicago neighborhoods for bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants, vintage stores, and wandering around for an afternoon. Be sure to stop by the Andersonville Galleria for art, gifts, and handmade goods from local artists.
Explore Roscoe Village
A charming neighborhood filled with local boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, and quiet residential streets perfect for an afternoon stroll. Don’t miss The Last Chapter, a cozy romance bookstore in the neighborhood.
Chicago Music Exchange
One of Andrew’s favorite places in the city and a fun stop for anyone who loves music, instruments, or vintage gear.
Mag Mile
A classic Chicago destination for shopping, architecture, restaurants, and exploring downtown during wedding weekend.
