HISTORY: First planned in 1997 to create new parkland in Grant Park & transform unsightly railroad tracks & parking lots, the Park has evolved into one of the most significant millennium projects in the world.
Julius: Such an amazing park. Parking underground is worth it if you are going to walk around Chicago. Leave your car and walk/take other transportation. of course visit THE BEAN!
Jessy King: worth the stop if you are in the area. so much to see and do. research parking or come on foot--the garage is a hefty sum. we paid $25 for less than 20 minutes.

alexis alcala: It is very big! It has a skate park, and has a beautiful nature feel view as you continue to walk through it.
Kirstjen Lorenz: Get a picnic from one of the casual spots across the street, sit with your sweetie & read a book. Great people watching, too.
IFC: Chicago: Any park that plays host to a Barack Obama victory speech and a Radiohead show in the same year deserves to be at the top of this list. -IFC Viewer

Shelley MacGregor: Arrive early to find street parking if you're coming by car. Our show was general admission - we were there an hour early when doors opened - we got front row seats! There's a bar & wait staff, too!
Todd Bradley: Ample parking in front of the Mexican cheese factory 🇲🇽🧀🏭
Shycu: Wish it was closer to home. Beautiful venue with great sound. Try balcony seating if you want comfy seats and a private bar with high top tables.
Adrienne: Free parking around Daley Center at Clark/Monroe - cut through Daley courtyard and you're at the theatre! Bathroom breaks always have lines for ladies room, so go before at your cafe/resto of choice
Lisa Petrov: Parking on State st (entrance on lake), turn left, down the alley...fastest way to get to the theater in a hurry!!
Allison Kaminski: Beautiful theatre!! Definitely go see a concert here. Not a bad seat in the house

Chicagoist: Try the sauerkraut rye bread, their chocolate cake doughnuts, buttermilk poundcake and "grandpa rye" bread, a three-pound loaf swimming in caraway and perfectly suited for Dagwood sandwiches. Read more.
Catherine E: Their atomic cake is the,best.. Bananas,strawberrys,whip cream an chocolate an vanilla cake..
John Bobek: This is NOT a place to visit if you are trying to diet!!! EVERYTHING's great!♥ People always talk about their cakes and doughnuts, but their breads are very good too!!!
Chicago magazine: There are charms to be had in the wonderful stone crab claws, the excellent grilled mahi-mahi with chimichurri and jicama slaw, and the luscious Key lime pie. Read more.
Joe H: The crab cakes might as well be your sins because they are to die for.
Time Out Chicago: Start with the sweet, cool stone crabs and a delicious chopped salad that could easily feed two. Go straight to the top with the bone-in New York strip or the Alaskan king crab legs served chilled. Read more.

Katarina Katsma: Maggie Daley park is like a free amusement park. Another fantastic example of landscape architecture in the heart of Chicago.
Ebony Carr: We love the swings, the forest, the ship, the slide crater and the mini golf, and in the winter ice ribbon is cool too!
Dana Parker: Amazing park, lots of cool stuff and great trails
Kristi Dillman: Park in the $5 parking on the side of the bulding rather than in the $20 parking garage!
Julia G: Another perk of membership, besides free or discounted parking? The member lounge on the main level offers a quiet, relaxing space for coffee or hot cocoa, plus an array of comfortable couches.
Amanda 🦄 Acevedo: Parking is pricey but covered and convenient. Coal mine and U505 submarine exhibits are standouts. Idea City great for young kids/infants for interactive displays. Museum improvements are very nice!

Charlie Ferreira: Parking around here sucks. Like 10 meter spots,permit required around. Banana French toast are great for bfast, sloppy Joe must have for every other meal. Bloody Mary with whisky is a good sub.
Le Jordan: An excellent whisky selection with great food to boot!
Thrillist: A Road trip must: This "classic yet modern pub" that sports kobe meatballs with creamy polenta and parsley pesto. Bonus: A 6 bedroom inn for when the food coma sets in. Read more.
Melvin Mcentee: Great food, wide lagunitas beer selection and friendly staff.
Johnny Nonstop: Think Willy wonka but beer!!!!
Michele Doyle: Incredible new facility being built in Chgo! Toured the main floor months before it's open to the public. Once open, the tour from the catwalk will be a must see & the tap room will rock, literally!
