One of the best ways to see the city! Emma's been six times.

World class art museum full of can't-miss exhibits mere steps from Millennium Park. Book online or at the door.

Nothing beats a walk along the lake!

Enter directly on Belmont or Fullerton, through tunnels on Chicago, Division, and North Avenues, or just walk east until you hit the lake!

Sorry deep dish lovers, but this is the best pizza in Chicago. We recommend the Funghi e Salsiccia and the Pistachio pizzas. The burrata is also a must-get.

Reservations recommended.

Upscale tapas with delightful small plates. Don't miss the Serrano ham or the shishito margaritas.

Delicious Ethiopian food close to Chad's climbing gym. After dinner, hit up the famous Green Mill Jazz Club for some funky sounds.

Casual eats just north of the Loop. Try the famous Italian Beef sandwich (both Emma and Chad recommend it dipped). If you're feeling adventurous, try the chocolate cake shake.

Cheery, cozy place with a great beer list and tasty pub food. Great for a low-key dinner. Closed Monday and Tuesday.

Taproom for one of our favorite local brewers. Fun beer list and casual, industrial vibe. They don't serve food, but feel order in your own.

Quiet spot for an upscale drink. We love the bartender's choice option. Reservations may be necessary.
