Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Elizabeth & Russell

While you are in town, check out some of our favorite places!  
These are both in The Loop and in Oak Park, where the ceremony is being held.

One of our favorite places in the city.  It's a classic Chicago restaurant with delicious food and great cocktails.  It's walking distance from the hotel, too.

Miller's Pub

Great neighborhood bar in the South Loop.  Awesome beer list.

Kasey's Tavern

Walking distance to the hotel, this park is just beautiful.  Check it out and get your picture by The Bean!

Millennium Park

If you are coming in early or staying an extra day, be sure to go here.  The permanent exhibits are amazing and they have a Van Gogh exhibition going on right now too!

The Art Institute of Chicago

This is just a jumping off point to the riverwalk.  Head over and walk the whole river walk, but first maybe grab a glass of wine.

City Winery Riverwalk

Its a classic.  Get a hot dog or the beef.  The sausage is great too.  You can't go wrong.

Portillo's & Barnelli's Chicago

Built in 1872, immediately after the Great Chicago Fire as a full wooden structure.  This building is leaning and buckling all over.  Stop in for some history and a shot of Malort.

The Green Door Tavern

A Henricks family favorite.  It needs no introduction.  Great beer and great oysters.
It is one block from the CTA Green Line Harlem Station.

Poor Phil's Bar and Grill

A favorite spot for Elizabeth and Russell when she lived in Oak Park.  Great to grab a drink and a snack.

Scratch On Lake

If you are in town for an extra day, come back to Oak Park and take this tour.  It is a beautiful home and you learn so much architectural history.  
You can take the CTA Green Line to Harlem and walk about half a mile to get there.

Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio

Oak Park brag here, but it's super cool that Elizabeth and Ernest grew up on the same street.

Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Museum

The BEST beef in the Chicago area.  No question. Go here.
Cash only.
