Hostels

I’m thrilled to share my guide to the Chicago’s top tea services for 2024. Chicago has long been known as a destination for exceptional dining and drinking experiences, and the city’s tea scene is no exception.

I’ll be the first to admit it: I have a rather large sweet tooth that struggles to be kept in check, and searching out really good bakeries is one of my favorite pastimes in the city. After all, who doesn’t love a good cup of coffe and a sweet pastry very now and then?

With everything from unique boutiques and bustling upscale markets to top-rated restaurants and a giant retro arcade, Chicago’s Fulton Market is filled with fun things to do. 

As a Chicago local, I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer day than exploring the iconic Navy Pier. This lakefront destination steps off of the Magnificent Mile, has been a beloved part of the city’s landscape for over a century, and it continues to delight both tourists and residents alike.

Whether you’re looking to soak up the sun, splash in the waves, or simply take in the stunning views of Lake Michigan, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to make the most of Chicago’s beaches this summer.

The Gold Coast area is an absolute hotbed of rustic cucina, brimming with cozy trattorias and sophisticated enotecas channeling the true flavors of Italy. These are six of my personal go-to spots for getting an authentic taste of la dolce vita without leaving the neighborhood.

The Magnificent Mile is the city’s crown jewel – a mile long strip of road flooded with tourism, shopping and iconic landmarks unlike any other in the world. With so much to see, its key to get a place close to the action, that is why we compiled this list of the nine best hotels near the magnificent mile.

Living in Chicago, I’m constantly in awe of the city’s striking architecture, picturesque riverfront, and gorgeous lakefront scenery. And in my opinion, one of the best ways to truly appreciate these wonders is from the water with a Chicago Boat Tour.

As one of the busiest neighborhoods in downtown Chicago, there is no wonder why there is never shortage of amazing options when it comes to Streeterville restaurants.
