A must try in the city, you can also skip the main dining room and try their Speakeasy for a different vibe with the same great bites. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended for both, especially on weekends

This breakfast spot was so good we went back twice during our trip! Though a little pricey the portion sizes are massive.
Honeybear Cafe

Chicago's famous Garrett's Popcorn. With multiple locations, you can't leave the city without a bag, tin or bucket! Garrett's mix is worth the hype!

We asked our Uber driver where to get the best pizza in Chicago and this is what he recommended. While it was good pizza, it was nothing spectacular in my opinion

There is no shortage of things to do at the pier. From restaurants to boat rides and the Ferris wheel, this is a must visit. If you go during the summer they have a beautiful fireworks show every Saturday.
Navy Pier

Home to the famous Chicago Bean. A tip to get good pictures when it is not super crowded is to go very early in the morning at sunrise.
