Definitely a fun beach to bring a big group of friends. Looking for a more peaceful spot? Head to your left at the end by Fullerton ave. Perfect space to read or meditate!
Great walking/running path. A little less than 3 miles around. Connects to lake Calhoun near the bandshell.
A great day trip if you want to get out of the city and enjoy some R&R.
What's good here? Everything. Bring a good camera with long range lens...you will be taking photos of bison and elk from at least 25 yards away...a cellphone camera just isn't going to cut it.
Only bad thing is, you have to sit with your back to the water to get the sun from the east. No biggy though. Still awesome
Willis tower is a Chicago must see. Breathtaking architecture and the sky deck is an amazing view of the city. Take time to read facts on walls while in line for the sky deck. Watch movie too.
Anish Kapoor’s gleaming "bean" of stainless steel creates fantastic reflections of the city skyline and the crowds. Be sure to step under it. – Green Guide Editor
Damn hot chicken - as advertised. Very hot but edible. Chicken is so good that merely "hot" might be the better route, letting the flavor come through more. Mac and cheese was great. Fries were good.
This is an excellent place to eat. The jumbo tenders were bigger than advertised. Five different temperature levels. Highly recommend.
"The best pancake place we've ever been" according to my wife. No arguments here. Worth the hour and a half wait.
Spinach Scramble and Power Breakfast with HUGE pancakes are staples. Granola rocks. Fresh, local ingredients. A must stop!
Bún bò Huế, Pho Hoa, Bahn Mi, and get the Iced Vietnamese Coffee! ( w condensed milk)
Wow, this place is the bomb. Get the Kansas City style chicken wings and the pork ribs. The greens beans and cole slaw are good sides, too.
LOVE this amazing place. Beautiful habitats & incredible animals. Give yourself plenty of time to see everything-including the fun interactive area for kids upstairs, which is a blast for adults too!
The Chicago Field Museum is one of the best museums in the world. Plan to spend an entire day here as there is so much to see! My favorite exhibits are the NW Pacific tribes and Evolving Planet.
Get the Little Goat coffee (large) - its made w goat's milk, cinnamon, spices & topped with whipped cream. Delicious!
This was an amazing experience! I was VERY pleased on me stumbling upon this place. I got the Bella Original Rigatoni Crema, and it was fantastic! This place is a must!
I live in New York, but come here every time I'm in town. The chicken liver bruschetta is delicious. Can't go wrong with any of the pastas. Order a liter of the house red, you won't regret it!
Servings are for sharing. Try the Crispy Pata, you deep-fried pork lover you. Do call ahead to check as they do run out.
Must try the yeast donuts and fritters, but the cake variety are also pretty spectacular, especially the blueberry.
Bacon doughnut sounds weird but best bacon flair sweet I have had to date. Sugar cookies and tiger twist are two of my favorite. Can't go wrong here.
Always a treat! Get here early if you want something specific. The lemon coconut cake was delicious!
If you're gonna make apple sauce, go for a huge bags of "seconds." All the (slightly blemished) apples you need, perfect for saucing, at a fraction of the cost.
Pick staymen Winesap apples. They taste the way apples are supposed to taste.
I love this place, the cider is amazing and the donuts are just wonderful fresh and hot. Picking your own apples is very fun as well. I had a great time as usual.
Beautiful rock formations and lots of hiking trails. Driving through and site seeing can take 2 hours tops, hiking/climbing can be an all day event. Be sure to see Balanced Rock!
Biking, hiking, tours, museums, River, paddle boats, ice cream, street art, people watching, monuments, poke stops, live music, and that's about it.
I ALWAYS get the White with clams, jalapeños, and BACON!!! Squeeze some lemon and sprinkle red pepper flake over the entire pie and guaranteed you'll never order anything else.
Great hiking. 3.5 miles around the lake and several trails to make a hike longer.
Morton Arboretum is a favorite spot for families year-round, but its extra special in the fall. Visitors can hike the trails, run through the maze or just sit and admire the brilliant fall colors.
Very nice park on the outskirts of Madison, IN. I've seen more wildlife in this park than any other state park I've been in. Deer, turkey, coyote, squirrel. Nice campground and rugged walking trails.
Go early. You can stay out all day with all of the different trails
The place sells itself as San Francisco Mission-style (my hometown) burritos and I'd have to say that's the closest I've come to back home since I've moved out here. Delicious!
The burritos are the best in town. Everything is fresh, and the the atmosphere is great.
Good lord you can't go wrong. The tacos and burritos are so heavenly it will bring tears of joy to your eyes.
The shop aims its crosshairs at our retro-aesthetic pleasure center and hits the bullseye, with offerings like Bing Crosberry—custard mixed with raspberries, cherries, cheesecake and graham crackers. Mehr erfahren.
Most beautiful ice cream shop I've ever been to. It's clean and modern. The massive window@behind the service area showing the production floor is so cool!!
Try the beef slap noodles, the eggplant and goat sausage, and the forbidden rice. But you can't go wrong; everything is delicious.
The "Water park" is the perfect weekend playground for the little ones... Mehr erfahren.
We seriously love this place. Friendly service, quality food & drinks. Try the fiesta wrap and the frozen mocha. Yum!
A must for locals & tourists alike. Fresh produce from fruits, veggies, meat & seafood; artisanal bread, pastries & ice cream; handicrafts & ethnic restaurants-there's something for everyone.
Check out all the great products. It reminds me a lot of the European markets, everything fresh and handmade. Coffee is awesome here. Friendly folks here but busy.
One of the best ways to spend a Saturday morning. I never knew there were so many kinds of tomatoes and potatoes. The crepes are amazing. Get the River Valley Florentine from Abby's! It's the best!
You can't go wrong here. Both the burgers and the bop are amazing, but definitely get the kimchi fries!
Perfect Saturday brunch! The location, food, and cocktails were amazing. The hostess was a bit snooty, but the servers were great. Definitely recommend for a weekend brunch!
Crispy Brussels Sprouts are easy to overlook, but will blow your mind. Shio College Ramen is so good.
super yummy steamed veggies with curry sauce and brown rice as well as fresh juices—generous portions
Love every smoothie ive ever had from them. And they took my really old frequent shopper card and turned it into cash on my account. I'm most def a fan of that
Don't worry if you don't like hotdogs. The bratwurst with sriracha mustard is amazing!
The old fashioned hot chocolate is to die for. It's great for anyone who prefers their hot chocolate on the sweeter side.
Free Sea Salted Carmels as you walk in- doesn't get much better than this! Oh wait, then I tried the Sea Salt Carmel Hot Cocoa.
Awesome vegan fast food restaurant. You need to check this place out! Try the watermelon fresca drink.
One of the best for fresh, healthy, and simply prepared seafood. Whole grilled fish is the way to go, as is the octopus. Don't overlook their veggies: try the horta (braised greens), okra, and beets.
This spots falafel sandwich is very affordable and stuffed with hummus, falafel, and jerusalem salad. You can choose to get it mild, medium, or spicy and if you want to round out your meal. Mehr erfahren.

The black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream is their specialty and the best tasting ice cream I've ever tasted.
For the best photos: pick a spot near the Covington pier and shoot north toward the Cincinnati skyline. Shoot at sunset and underexpose by a few stops to get the lights just right.
This tower is the second largest tower in Cincinnati & was completed in 1931.On a clear day, visitors can see for miles in all directions, as well as see three states Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.
A pancake wrap is fun (and enough) for the whole family. Pumpkin pancakes are a baby favorite.
