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.

Catch some tunes at world famous blues joint Kingston Mines. Tickets on the website.

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 in River North. Try the famous Italian Beef sandwich (both Emma and Chad recommend it dipped). Alternatively, you can find Mr. Beef (where The Bear is filmed) or Portillos if you want to supplement with a 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.

Smart casual pizza and pasta near the hotel. Reservations encouraged.

Catch a comedy show while you're in town, maybe after getting a drink at Mousetrap. Tickets online or at the door.
