Things To Do

Bar Louie

333-335 N Dearborn, Chicago, IL 60654

The infamous bar where we met on New Year's Eve, 2019. Unfortunately, it's closed, but the marquee is still there. So take a walk past if you'd like to go down memory lane.

The J. Parker

1816 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60614

Where we had our first date! A stunning rooftop bar with views of Lincoln Park.

Millennium Park

Chicago, IL 60602

The Bean ("Cloud Gate")

201 East Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60602

Gabby's personal favorite. You can never go to The Bean too many times. And head over to Cindy's Rooftop after.

Cindy's Rooftop

12 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

A popular rooftop bar with a view of The Bean and Millenium Park

Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours

465 North McClurg Court, Chicago, IL 60611

Highly recommend Chicago Riverboat Architecture Tour or The First Lady tours. We have done both a few times.

City Winery at the Riverwalk

11 West Riverwalk, Chicago, IL 60601

A gorgeous spot on the river. You can grab a drink, sit on the steps, and people watch. If you're a fan of peeking into the lives of the upper echelon, this is a go to. The yachts park right in front of this bar. Did we already mention people watching?!

Chicago Riverwalk

Chicago Riverwalk, Chicago, IL

This is a frequent route for a walk with Jack. Traipse around and you'll quickly see why it's a favorite.

Raised | An Urban Rooftop Bar

1 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601

A less touristy roof top bar. A sure crowd pleaser!

LH Rooftop

85 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601

A popular rooftop bar with a view of the river (and we just ignore Trump tower, and occasionally flip it off).

Lakeshore Trail

808 North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60611

Another frequent Jack walk route. This address is just one of many access points. Look at a map to find a point closest to you. There's nothing better than a walk along Lake Michigan.

The Mart

222 West Merchandise Mart Plaza, Chicago, IL 60654

ART on THE MART is the largest digital art projection in the world. It runs every night between April and December.
