West Loop is a happening area with tons of restaurants and shopping just steps away from your hotel! Some of our favorite spots are The Oakville Grill & Cellar, Trivoli Tavern, The Allis, Rose Mary, Beatrix, PB&J (Pizza, beer, & jukebox), Time Out Market, Green Street Smoked Meats, and Parlor Pizza.

We highly recommend stoping by two of our favorite breweries in the city! Midwest Coast brewing Co is right next door to Walden and Goose Island is 0.5 miles away from Walden! Both are great options to go for drinks in between our ceremony and cocktail hour!

Go see where Katie and Brendyn spent some time on their first date! The river walk is a great place to get your steps in and take in some breathtaking views of the city. There are tons of fun outdoor stops for food and drinks along the way! If you're ubering there, 151 W Riverwalk South is a good drop off spot.

The Lakefront trail is an absolute MUST if you are visiting Chicago! A beautiful spot to take a walk, go for a bike ride, have a picnic, sit and lookout to the gorgeous lake. A great starting point is Fullerton Avenue or North Avenue - head south for the best views of the city.

Go explore Katie and Brendyn's old stomping grounds! Some of our favorite restaurants are Topo Gigio (the BEST espresso martini's), The Vig (great food & drinks), Happy Camper (amazing pizza), & Small Cheval which is walk up only & has the best burger in town! Lots of fun bars to go bar hoppin' :P

The Nature Boardwalk is a very pretty area to take a walk where you can enjoy both wild life and city scapes all at the same time. It has one of the coolest views of the city! Be sure to pop into the zoo while you're there, entry is free!
