One of our favorite things to do on the weekend and head to the LakeShore Trail to either rent divy bikes or take the dogs on a nice long walk. You are able to access the trail from Lincoln park and are a short distance away from some of the most popular beaches.

Held on Saturday mornings starting at 7 am, this Lincoln Park Farmers Market is pretty unbeatable. We often find ourselves strolling through the farmers market pre or post breakfast/lunch dates. This is right outside of Hotel Lincoln's property. Pro tip: call Nookies and ask to put your name in for breakfast.

For all of our out of town guests, if you want to feel like a local and visit some of the best restaurants and bars- Fulton Market is the place for you. You will often find us here on a Friday or Saturday night.
