The Ultimate Guide To A Weekend in Chicago
Chicago is one of those cities that turns getting lost into not only an art form, but an incredible adventure. A sprawling city with many neighborhoods that still maintain that old school urban vibe, Chicago is bustling with amazing restaurants and bars, cool event spaces, breweries galore, an art scene that’s pretty impossible to conquer in just a weekend, and a whole lot of history and character. Rather than booking the cliché trip to Vegas for a bachelor party, or to Sonoma for wine tasting with a bachelorette party, you may want to consider adding this great old American city to your list of weekend getaway possibilities. There are party spots in every neighborhood, whether you’re looking for a great bar to have a seat and unwind from a day of sightseeing, a restaurant with food as good as your grandmother’s, or a warehouse space to throw an epic party. Oh, and be sure to stop by Millennium Park if you get a chance, it’s truly impressive and packed with tons of cool art installations. The Museum of Contemporary Art and The Field Museum are also worth a gander if you’ve got the time. So much to see! Reporter: Alyssa Brown
