108 Days To Go!

Things to Do

During the Gap:

Cindy's Rooftop: Grab a drink right next door to our venue - enjoy incredible views of Millennium Park and Lake Michigan!


Goddess and the Baker: A Bride-frequented cafe: enjoy a cup of coffee and you MUST try the cookies.


City Winery: Outdoor seating by the Chicago River.


The Bean / Millennium Park: Across from The University Club - take a picture all dressed up and stroll through the park.

Around the area:

Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park: Great walking.


The Picasso: Right across the street from the church.


The Art Institute: The Bride's favorite museum in the city!


The Sears Tower: It's called the Willis Tower now? Not for those afraid of heights *cough* the Groom *cough*



Our Favorites Around the City!

Duck Duck Goat: The best Asian food outside of Chinatown - make a reservation early, and PLEASE get the green beans.


Ranalli's: Ranch with a side of pizza.


Woodie's: Go-to wings right next door to Julia and David's home. Alotttttta take-out from here.


Topo Gigio: A Donnelly favorite (Italian) - the best Espresso Martini in the city and aggressively close to the couple's home.


Old Town Ale House: Late-night, cash-only DIVE bar.


The J. Parker: Rooftop bar - where Julia and David had brunch before he proposed! Lovely views of the city day or night.

Other Activities:

Lincoln Park Zoo: Free - check out the lion exhibit to get up close and personal with the big kitties! One of Peach's personal faves.


Green City Market: Just steps away from David and Julia's house, this is the best farmer's market. Open Saturday's 7am-1pm! We recommend the jam, pickles, and hot sauce from Bushel and Peck's.


Architecture Tour: Not only for tourists! The best way to see the city.
