Things To Do
Corcoran's Grill & Pub
Eddie and Chloe met at Corcoran's prior to the first softball game she subbed with the Womps (NKA Melonheads) team. Eddie liked Chloe's shark socks and got her attention by saying "shark bait ooh-ha-ha." He also really liked that Chloe ordered churros for dinner. Corcoran's is a 5 minute walk from Hotel Lincoln.
Avli River North
Eddie took Chloe to Avli on their first date. Chloe told her roommates "I think I will marry him" that night. Avli is a modern Greek restaurant and would be a nice Valentine's date spot. You'll have to Uber here.
Sepia
Eddie and Chloe have celebrated their past few "dating anniversaries" at Sepia. For those who are looking for a FANCY place to have Valentine's Day dinner, we highly suggest making a reservation in advance. Please read the menu prior as Sepia is a pricey special occasion spot. You'll have to Uber here.
Geja's Cafe
Eddie and Chloe celebrated their first Valentine’s Day here. Geja’s is a fondue restaurant and is, obviously, an excellent Valentine’s date choice! You will leave here smelling like frying oil and will need to shower (worth it). Geja’s is a 5 minute walk from Hotel Lincoln.
Ranalli's Lincoln Park
Eddie and Chloe's softball team, The Melonheads, visit Ranalli's frequently for post-game beers. We recommend the hot honey soppressata pizza. Don't be surprised if you see us here the night before the wedding... Ranalli's is a 5 minute walk from Hotel Lincoln.
Side Street Saloon
Eddie and Chloe's favorite and most frequented pizza spot. Dave Portnoy said "the vibes are immaculate," and "as Chicago as you can get." Rated a 7.1 on pizza, and A+ on vibes. Go to Sidestreet if you want SOLID tavern style pizza, or want to enjoy a beer at a dive. CASH only. They have an ATM. You WILL find Eddie and Chloe here the day after the wedding. Please join! You'll have to Uber or brave the L train to get here.
Sheffield's Wine & Beer Garden
Eddie and Chloe's families were waiting for them at Sheffield's on the day that Eddie proposed. Eddie and Chloe frequent Sheffields, as it has a long beer list and great food. You'll have to Uber or brave the L train to get here.
Field Museum
Chloe's favorite museum in Chicago - best mummy exhibit ever!!! Eddie has accompanied Chloe on her mummy adventures here multiple times. You'll have to Uber here.
Lincoln Park Zoo
Eddie and Chloe visit the Zoo throughout the year, whether it's to see the Lions, or Zoo Lights at Christmastime. The Zoo is free to enter. If the weather is good (over 45 degrees) and you have a winter coat handy, take a walk around! There are outdoor and indoor exhibits, and hot cocoa to enjoy. The Zoo is a 5 minute walk from Hotel Lincoln.
Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company
A Chicago staple. Our recommendation is to get the Mediterranean bread, Chef’s salad and a pizza pot pie, “the classic way.” CASH only. Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is about a half mile from Hotel Lincoln.
Topo Gigio Ristorante
Eddie and Chloe have been to Topo Gigio numerous times, and have always had a great meal. A classic Italian spot, and another great Valentines date option. Topo Gigio is a half mile from Hotel Lincoln.
