Navigating a city can sometimes be hard not to mention tiring. Shopping, sightseeing and walking around can exhaust you. Here are some of our tips for getting around on the “MAG MILE”.
Michigan Avenue has plenty of everything, but when you need a break to rest your tired feet stop in at the Marriott Hotel on Michigan Ave. They have an entrance right on Michigan Avenue; just walk down the hotel corridor and into the main lobby. The lobby bar is great with oversized and overstuffed chairs and tables. You can order light food and appetizers and rest yourself in a casual, comfortable atmosphere. If you are really hungry you can go upstairs to the full service restaurant. Too tired to go another step? Just check-in and get a room.
A few more blocks and you’ll be at the Omni Hotel and Suites with a great restaurant on the 4th floor, immaculate restrooms and wonderful suite style hotel rooms. The casual bar and restaurant overlook Michigan Avenue for great people watching. The bar has very nice table ware and glasses, friendly staff and is a great place to stop off. The hotel entrance is a on the corner of Ohio, a few steps off Michigan.
Around the corner from the Omni is Lawry’s Steak House for great Prime Rib. A few blocks down from Lawry’s is the Chicago Chop House. You can dine with Al Capone and his friends in this Chicago favorite restaurant. Lots of mob and gangster pictures from old Chicago deck the walls. Walk in off the street in sneakers, you’ll eat downstairs. Great food, big portions, lively bar and bring your pocketbook, it’s worth every penny.
Sightseeing is easy in Chicago with a Chicago Go Card. Enjoy the hop on-hop off trolley, and all the museums. Have cocktails at the top of the Hancock and visit the Observatory and the open air deck.
Don’t forget Navy Pier for a Chicago lunch cruise and a view of Chicago from Lake Michigan.
Welcome to Chicago and enjoy your visit!
