We love Chicago. Here are a few of our favorite ways to explore the city.

Some of the best views of Chicago are from the river! Whether from the launch points in the Loop, or from the Rockwell Marina, we highly recommend captaining your own electric donut boat for an hour. And it's BYOB!

Chicago, IL 60618

One of our first dates. The walls are lined with board games making it a great spot to spend an afternoon. Ticket to Ride and Azul are great two-player options!

Address: 1300 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 60613

The best way to see Chicago's skyline. Skip the observation deck and grab a drink at the Signature Lounge. Enjoy the view for just the cost of a beverage.

Address: 875 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611

The Bloomingdale Trail, also known as the 606, is a retired elevated railroad track turned into a public park. Jump on the trail in the Wicker Park neighborhood, just north of Damen and Wabansia. Grab coffee at Goddess and the Grocer and enjoy a really pretty walk through a few neighborhoods. 

So much great food in Chicago! A few of our favorites are included below.

A weekly staple for our house. Get the meatballs!  Get the Dante! And get literally whatever their weekly special is. Sometimes they have a veggie quiche on Saturdays and those are the best days.

Address: 1372 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60642 

A cozy, neighborhood favorite for breakfast and brunch. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the oatmeal is a surprising standout. 

Address: 1920 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60622

Coffee with a delicious slice of sweet or savory pie. Anna's recommendation: Apple Sour Cherry or any of the breakfast handpies. 

Address: 1618 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622

Our favorite restaurant in the city. Try the pastrami, sliced brisket, elote, and broccoli salad. 

Address: 112 N Green St, Chicago, IL 60607

The best tacos around. Try the fish and papas tacos. If it's nice out, grab tacos from the to-go window and hang out on the patio. The margaritas are worth the wait inside the main restaurant.
