Fav local taprooms

Place to meet locals, try local beer, pop up food, rotating art exhibits
if you're thirsty and hungry, check first if they have a pop up food vendor before bringing your own grub. The scene is relaxed, local, funky and positive.

Sightseeing

The most beautiful park in the city, in my opinion. Get lost in the weeping willows, the superb landscaping, the sweeping views of the river, Pagoda, the city and bridges of Chicago. Your can walk, kayak, bike, and jog here blissfully. Grabbing a water taxi and heading downtown is a beautiful ride, and a must-do for locals and tourists alike.

A beautiful Oasis in Garfield Park, steps away from the Green Line, and with ample parking, this conservatory is especially inviting in the winter months, but a true delight at any time. Lose yourself in the ferns, the tropical flowers and palms soaring up into the beautiful glass domed greenhouse roof.

Shhh! Semi-Secret Rooftop pools!

Making the trip to Wicker Park? A smaller dipping pool sits on the 6th floor of the Robey, and is open to the public and a fun place to soak up some UV's and people-watch. There's a bar too.

Coffee.

You have arrived somewhere special here. In the confluence between pristine Japanese coffee-making methodology, and the eclectic, rusty-patina of Green Street meats, sit back and soak it in while your mouth enjoys the best matcha latte in the city.
