ChicaGo By Boat

Boat rental service

👍👍 My husband and I grew up sailing on Lake Michigan. We moved away 15 years ago and the lake is the thing we miss most. We met up with friends over Labor Day Weekend and I surprised everyone by booking a sunset sail with ChicaGo By Boat. Booking and communication was excellent. We totally lucked out w...

Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum

Museum

👍👍 Wow! Very impressive collection. Cars of all eras, kept and shown to great effect. Never knew this giant collection was housed so nearby in a renovated factory building on the NW side. One of the best auto museums I've seen. Highly recommend spending at least a couple of hours there.

👍👍 I had such a great time at the Chicago Fireboat tour. The tour guide was wonderful, funny and very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the city.

Five Iron Golf - River North

Indoor golf course

👍👍 Our first time there. They were intuitive enough to know what play options were best for us. I could sense they well know the game and their business. We started with bullseye, then driving range (with more diagnostics than I would know what to do with) and ended on a course in Colorado. They were v...

Chicago's First Lady

Boat tour agency

👍👍 The Chicago Architecture Cruise is an incredible look at some of the buildings lining the Chicago River. We had tickets for the 10 am cruise, and boarding started around 9:45 am. I would suggest arriving early, as there was already a large line when we visited, and all of the side seats were taken...

👍👍 Highly recommended for a colorful stop in the city. It's located in the Willis Tower and had plenty of rooms to enjoy.

Sip & Savor | 43rd Street

Coffee shop

👍👍 I discovered this place after doing a Google search for black owned cafes that were open early and served something sweet. When I walked in the coffee aroma smelled enticing! And I’m not a coffee drinker. What I did order was a cinnamon roll, blueberry muffin, and chocolate chip cookie. I ate the ci...

Base Community Cafe

Cafe

👍👍 This is a hidden gem for sure. I had the Rebel Sandwich and it was amazing! I'm limiting my meat intake so the Soyrizo sandwich was the best option for me. It was by far the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. What a creative sandwich. It was fresh, rich and flavorful. Way to go Chef! One of the bes...
