Chicago Weekend Guide

Many moons ago, I met my husband in Chicago. We spent our first years of dating, then engagement, then marriage there. It’s been 10 years since we lived there but it will always have a special place in our hearts.

Recently, we visited for a weekend with our good friend Kyle and had an amazing time.

Next time you’re in this pretty city, make sure to add these to your itinerary!

Day One:

1. The Art Institute of Chicago // could spend many days here

2. Green St Smoked Meats // lunch in the courtyard

3. Spacca Napoli Pizzeria // amazing gluten free pizza WOW! Ravenswood is a fav

4. The Up Room // rooftop bar with great drinks and the most stunning sunset

Day Two:

5. Beatnik on the River (life-changing food, life-changing ambiance. make sure to sit on the river)

6. Chicago River Architectural Tour (the river cottage and old bridge operation houses were my favorites)
