Chicago

I love venturing to Chicago during the summer, especially for a Bachelorette Weekend! The weather this past weekend was stunningly beautiful (80 and sunny… I’ve never seen such blue skies/lake in Chicago)! For those of you looking for a weekend getaway for whatever reason, Hyatt Place in River North was in the absolute best location for a hotel! We walked nearly everywhere! Lunch at Rockit was delicious, Bub City is a great restaurant and country bar (yes, in the middle of the city). If you want to get dressed up and go dancing, I highly recommend Stout and American Junkie as solid spots. IO Urban Roofscape at The Godfrey Hotel is like no other rooftop bar I’ve ever seen – it’s absolutely beautiful with stunning views of the city! If you’re looking for a lunch spot/day drinks/beach situation, then head to Castaways at North Avenue Beach – we actually ran into the entire cast filming the new The Real World: Chicago. And, of course, if you’re fans of Giuliana and Bill, then no trip to Chicago is complete without making dinner reservations at RPM Italian! We had a great experience and the family-style serving style they offered for our group of 11 was awesome! So much great food! An amazing time!
