Things to Do

Blackberry Market

(630) 474-2300

Derek and Lelia went to Blackberry on their first date! They are known for their baked goods, but especially their cinnamon rolls. We recommend ordering one with a hot coffee.

Website

The Art Institute of Chicago

This art museum was featured in the movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We have loved visiting here throughout the year and highly recommend the Impressionism gallery. You will have to buy tickets, but an opportunity to see works created by artists like Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Cassatt is hard to pass up!

Cloud Gate

The Bean! It's a quick, 5-minute walk from the Art Institute. A Chicago must-see.

Portillo's & Barnelli's Glendale Heights

Portillo's is another Chicago classic. Derek recommends the Big Beef Sandwich (with the hot peppers!) and Lelia enjoys the Chopped Salad. If you're looking to try a Chicago-style hotdog while you're here, this is a great place to do it.
