Chicago
is definitely my kind of town. I don’t know about the winters, but as long as
the temperature was above freezing I could so live there. The river running
through the main stretch of buildings was beautiful and the shopping definitely
lived up to all the hype; I now feel like all the stores in Nashville are
sample stores compared to the 2 – 4 story buildings on Michigan Ave.
I was
only there for Memorial Day weekend, but I can already feel the city pulling at
my sleeve to come back… The Ralph Lauren Store and Restaurant was by far my
favorite place I visited there. Once I walked into their home department I felt
like I had just walked into a perfectly decorated apartment that I never wanted
to leave.
The only
two things that I was really able to mark off my Chicago to-see list was
Michigan Ave, East Oak, and eat at the RL Café. I really want to see a play
there (the Chicago Theater looks amazing!), visit the Art Institute of Chicago,
go see a Cubs game, and last but not least see The Bean {I know, it’s probably
the most touristy thing ever} so I will definitely visit again soon! For now
here is a little photo recap!
What a wonderful visit you had to Chicago! The RL Cafe looks truly amazing, love all the pictures on the walls. When I visited Chicago, we, unfortunately, did not eat there. My friends chose the Hard Rock Cafe, which is also pretty cool with all the memorabilia about the room, although the RL Cafe would have been my preferred choice! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhile it may be a nice place to shop and visit, it's always so scary to hear on the news all the violence taking place in Chicago these days. So sad. I'm glad to hear you had a great, safe trip.
