Things To Do
We love this city and we hope you will too! The Motor Row neighborhood provides easy access to Downtown attractions including the Art Institute, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Field Museum, the Bean, the Riverwalk, Grant Park and more.
Motor Row is also near one of our favorite Chicago neighborhoods, Chinatown. Walk along Chinatown Square with a boba tea from Te'Amo, browse the many shops (EK Hardware is our favorite), and stop by Chiu Quon Bakery for a BBQ pork bun or Portuguese egg tart. MCCB has our favorite takeout-- don't miss the dry chili chicken, spicy wonton, and cold sesame noodles!
We are also close to Lake Michigan, and the gorgeous Lakefront Trail, accessible on foot or bike. We highly recommend renting a Divvy bike and taking the lakefront bike trail-- head north for stunning city views, and head south for gorgeous Illinois native plants and winding tree-lined paths.
We could go on and on about things to do while you're here! Please just ask us if you're curious.
