THINGS TO DO!
🏙️ Chicago River Boat Architecture Tour – 465 N McClurg Ct
Best way to see the city! Relax with a drink while cruising past Chicago’s iconic skyline and learning cool facts. Always a hit! Kurt has done it multiple times.
🚶♂️ The Chicago Riverwalk – 100 E Wacker Dr
Walk along the river with a row of outdoor dining and breweries.
Jenna's favorite part of the city!
🏖️ Lakefront Trail Walk or Bike Ride
Rent bikes or stroll along the lake for unbeatable views of the skyline and Lake Michigan. One of the best parts of Chicago in our opinion!
🏙️ Millennium Park & Cloud Gate
Home of the famous Bean. Free music and yoga in the park on weekends which Jenna loves to do (when she can wake up early enough to do it).
🌆 Skydeck Chicago (Willis Tower)
Step out onto the glass ledge for a thrilling city view. Close to where Kurt works downtown.
🐻 Lincoln Park Zoo– 2001 N Clark St
A free zoo in the heart of the city and close to lakefront. In our neighborhood.
NEAR THE SHERATON!
🍕 Robert’s Pizza & Dough Company – 465 N McClurg Ct
A fitting name for the weekend. Artisan pizzas and can sit by the river if it's nice out. Located on the Ogden slip it's a great place to take a stroll and very close to the Sheraton.
🥪 Pinched on the River – 443 E Illinois St
Great Mediterranean food. We've had a couple of dates here.
☘️ Lizzie McNeill’s Irish Pub – 400 N McClurg Ct
Waterfront Irish pub with live music, right next to the Sheraton and where Jenna used to live!

🍔 Au Cheval – 800 W Randolph St
Home to the most famous burger in Chicago (and our favorite!) No reservations so plan to put your name in and walk around.
🌮 Old Pueblo Cantina – 1209 W Taylor St
The spot of our first date ❤️ Authentic Mexican flavors, strong margaritas, and a special place in our story.

The best steakhouse in Chicago! Best meal you'll have, guaranteed. Love to do special occasions here.
