Try to make reservations at least a few weeks in advance! - West Loop and Fulton Market have some of the best restaurants in the city. Our favorites are Momotaro, Aba, Green Street Smoked Meats, Cira, Beatrix, Bar Siena, Formento's and Trivoli Tavern. (Tip! - The welcome party is just off of Aba - grab dinner or a drink there before joining us!) - River North also has great restaurant options. We love Avli, Avec, Ema and Quartino! - You can't leave Chicago without a slice (or two!) of deep dish. Check out Lou Malnati's (Clay's favorite) or Pequod's (Maggie's favorite)!
Whether you're looking for a spot to catch the early Saturday games or a place to grab drinks outside of the weekend's events, Chicago has plenty of options for you. We love Happy Camper (specifically the Old Town location), Parlor Pizza, Federales, Bandit and Texan Taco Bar! Lazy Bird, Three Dots and a Dash and The Aviary are cute cocktail bars to check out if you have the opportunity.
Chicago is not short on fun activities or museums to see. Our favorites are below! - Architecture Tour: If the weather is cooperative, this is an awesome way to see the city. - Comedy shows: Second City, Zanie's or Laugh Factory are all good options. - Museums: Art Institute, Field Museum, Aquarium and Museum of Science and Industry - Walk along the lake front if weather permits
