A wonderful, peaceful walk around the water. Great photo opportunities in the large structure.
A Park worker told me the composite boards get very HOT ... especially on days with no cloud cover ... so avoid walking your dog here on very hot sunny days to protect his paws.
Fruits, veggies and more, oh my! A summer (and year-round) farmers' market staple in the city. Arrive early and bring an appetite for some of the unique market finds.
Don't miss the chef demos! Every Wed. and Sat. at 10:30am...see some of the city's finest in action.
Sunflowers are huge and gorgeous and the tube roses smell amazing!
Nice “free” Zoo nearby, connected & opened to the park, people walking around & having a walk always here.
Don’t bother looking for a mosh pit. You're here for the fresh air, not the band. #DontBlowIt
Throw a frisbee around. Maybe take a walk through the zoo, and spend a few introspective moments pondering what it means to be human.
So beautiful and easy to get to right outside of the city. Had wonderful views of the city and of course of the water.
Beautiful summer days in Chicago are scarce...make the most of them and come down to the lake front.
Bring your own booooooze
It is a great place to warm up when it's cold outside, especially the fern room. The plants are so beautiful and it is very relaxing to take a short stroll around the main room.
Chicago can feel pretty tropical, or at least humid, in summer, but if you want to check out some real tropical plant life, the Lincoln Park Conservatory offers a lush sanctuary from city life.
Enjoy a peaceful afternoon among greenhouses and tropical flowers Free entry to 4 different houses, children and anyone who enjoys being surrounded by natural beauty will enjoy this spot. Read more.
Two words - baby gorillas!
Staff really does a lot to provide environmental enrichment, but the silver back nevertheless looks incredibly bored.
Try the apes.
A must when visiting Chicago. Free and a nice walk from the city centre along the lake shore. An great asset to the city.
The Lincoln Park Zoo is free and open 365 days a year. http://bit.ly/alwaysfree Read more.
FREE and fabulous -- you'll find everything from gorillas and lions to penguins and polar bears.
I love this place. Total dive, great music!
Its late hours, regular acoustic blues sets, all-night kitchen, and vibrant neighborhood full of shops, restaurants, and other entertainment recommend this club as a top blues destination. Read more.
This spot is one of the oldest blues clubs in Chicago and was rated "Best Blues Club" 13 years in a row. If you're not having a good time, check your pulse.
My fav place in the city by far, love the beach, love the peeeps, AWESOME
Enjoy the serenity of the lake front in the morning and get the hell outta here by 10am unless you want to be bombarded by suburbanites & tourists
The Volleywood Beach Bash only happens once a year...you missed it this time, but come next summer, you better be ready.
I love this place. Nice staff. Cheap wine!
My first time to discover the great ORGANIC savings I can get from here. Move over "Whole Foods"... This is my new Grocery Home.
Did you know that the Lincoln Park TJ'S re-distributes about $40,000 of food into our neighborhoods each week? The staff here rocks. Thanks for choosing to be socially responsible. Great team :)
WOW! Impeccable service and some of the most amazing, creative, beautiful, exciting, fun and delicious food you will find anywhere in the world. Yum. Just go!
Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods
Buy the cookbook before dinner and follow along and be courteous with your cameras, others are simply trying to enjoy their experience. - Inspector
Best sushi in Chicago! It is fresh and the rolls are very creative. Try the Kamikaze and Caterpiller rolls. BYOB is a plus.
side salad with ginger dressing, kamikaze hand roll, sunny roll...i dream about this meal all.the.time. best sushi in chicago!
Try awesome roll. All the sushi also very fresh!
Just as good as the original Milwaukee shops. They have it all: iced coffee, nitro, lattes, fresh baked goods, you name it. Just make sure you take a freshly roasted bag home with you.
Good coffee types.
AMazing coffee great for studying
Your kids will love the Oz-themed sculptures in this park. You'll also find a playground, walking path, tennis courts, and a garden.
This park is named after the magical land of Oz, created by L. Frank Baum. The children's author was a Lincoln Park resident in the 1890s.
Sculptures of Dorothy, Tin Man & Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz greet you here. People there didn't seem to know there is also the Cowardly Lion. Hard to find...he's hiding in a corner behind a tree
Just get Sambal Fish, Sesame-Chili Shrimp, and Kalbi tacos and you'll have a mouthgasm. Boom.
All of the Korean-style tacos at Del Seoul are worth ordering, though make sure to order at least one fish taco.
The shrimp tacos are made of awesomesauce.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
