Located on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower with clear observation boxes & views extending to four states!

Navy Pier

Lincoln Park Zoo

The 606 - Damen Access Point

Formerly an abandoned rail line, The 606 Bloomingdale Trail, is a 2.7-mile elevated recreational trail. We've logged many miles walking and running on this trail since it opened in 2015.

Bake

The best little bakery! Mornings are the best time to visit as they sell out early. Everything here is delicious but we're partial to their scones.

Piece Brewery

One of our favorite local pizza joints.

Handlebar

Our favorite spot for vegetarian and vegan comfort food. Their nachos and smoked gouda mac are delicious!

Big Star

Fun spot for Mexican street food, bourbon, beer & margaritas.

Emporium Wicker Park

Arcade + bar = a cool spot to hangout.

The Wormhole Coffee

'80s-themed rustic coffee shop with delicious lattes & cool vibes (including a DeLorean).
