My top food recommendations

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
Â
They had a decent happy hour! The best thing we tried was the Caesar salad.
Nisos Prime - Chicago

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

Some of the funniest activities I experienced in the city
Â
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
Â
This was one of my favorite to-dos in the city. It was such a unique experience and showcased the beauty of the city

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.
Millennium Park
Â
So much fun for children and adults alike!
MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM

So many restaurants, activities, and sites to see. Would highly recommend getting on one of the water taxis
