CHICAGO, IL - With United Fresh just two short weeks away, and a busy itinerary lined up, a short list of a few must-see spots can go a long way. That’s where we come in. From the typical recommendations to the actual inside experience, AndNowUKnow is here to give you a lineup of what you don’t want to miss while in the Windy City.
Experience the Untitled Supper Club
When you’re this chill, you don’t need a title. With a classic appearance, dinner, drinks, and live shows you can have some of Chicago’s best experiences in one spot. And if you stop in on the last night of United Fresh, June 10th, you can catch a live jazz performance by local up-and-coming artist Alyssa Allgood.
Stroll through Eataly
When it comes to the Italian cuisine Chicago is famous for, this array of cuisine and market experiences is a one stop shop. You can dine in the cafe and experience the flavors that Founder Oscar Farinetti and Creatve Partner Mario Batali intended, or shop in the market that presents what Eataly calls the “agricultural act” of eating Italian, something they feel everyone has a right to. This place is such that they are opening a "Disneyland of food" in Italy, and you can have a taste while in the Windy City.
Stop by Millennium Park
It shows up on every Chicago list for a reason, and not just because it’s fun to see your reflection in The Bean. Millennium Park offers events like shows, movie viewings, and cultural displays. If you arrive the day before United Fresh begins on June 7th, you can experience free tours of the Lurie Gardens, or listen to the “Downtown Sound” on June 8th featuring local musical artists Andrew Belle and the Birds of Chicago.
But yes, definitely stop by and snap a picture of yourself and those with you reflected in The Bean.
Eat at The Purple Pig
On the Magnificent Mile, this is a delicious spot to take in some Chicago culture and maybe have a glass of wine. The product of four chefs’ collaboration, your palate will hardly know what to do except just absorb.
Grab a drink (or five) at the Tavern On Rush
Yes, it’s on Rush Street. And it’s a good thing they put the location in the name, in case the drinks are a little too tasty for the patrons who need to remember where to have themselves picked up. Try it, we won’t judge you.
Now there are other popular places definitely worth stopping by, like the Navy Pier or Willis Tower, but we know you’re going to be short on time. Hopefully you make time for these notable locations we listed above. You will probably see one of our team members there.
