The Magnificent Mile
Walk the magnificent mile and get some shopping done!!
The Field Museum
Matt and I spent an entire day here once. It was when we attempted to take the bus for the first time. We unfortunately tried to take a bus that wasn't running and another driver picked us up and brought us to where we needed to go. Embarrassing but showed
the kindness of people. Sue, a t-Rex skeleton, lives at the Field Museum as well as a real life mummy!! It'll take some time but definitely interesting and worth it.
The Grand Lux
This is a Scolaro favorite for birthdays and special events. The Grand Lux has a huge menu with tons of options. It's located right off Michigan Avenue making it the perfect lunch spot before hitting the stores. Also The Grand Lux is known for its famous
desserts. I swear by the beignets, but my younger sister Juliana says the molten cake is to die for. Both must be ordered 30 minutes ahead of time so order them with your food!
The Signature Room
96 floors up, The Signature Room is a great place to enjoy a cocktail while looking out at all of Chicagoland. Matt and I have been here numerous times and enjoy the ambiance and sights.
The Bean
This was one of the first places I took Matt in Chicago. Some of you, specifically only Abby Schukei, might have heard the sculpture called Cloudgate. The Bean has become a symbol of Chicago and a fantastically cute picture spot!
Portillos
We love Portillos! This is a great place to grab lunch or dinner. We'd recommend: a Chicago style hotdog, Italian beef, or a chop salad. Also for those with a sweet tooth, grab a chocolate cake shake. That's right... There's a whole piece of rich delicious chocolate cake put into milkshake form. Also one has JUST OPENED in my hometown of Northbrook! Get excited!
