just some thoughts on things she might find fun
-
Black Thai International Arts and Crafts Fest
handcrafted items from Africa, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan and Thailand
-
60th Annual Greek Festival
lots of food, music, and dancing in Lincoln Square
-
Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest
lots of food, music, art, and open studios on the charming cobbled streets of the Rogers Park neighborhood
-
Chicago Outdoor Film Festival-Grant Park
we can pack a picnic dinner and see Tootsie on Tuesday!
-
Shopping on the Mag Mile
-
The Music Box Theater
will be showing Flame & Citron and Art & Copy
-
Meal by PB
probably unavoidable :)
-
Field Museum
-
Art Institute/Millenium Park
obligatory bean siting as well as a stroll across the new foot bridge, and there is also a new wing that might be cool
-
North Pond
a pricier choice for dinner, but well worth it from what I hear
-
Summer’s Eve Dinner
the affordable kick off dinner for the Chicago Tomato Fest, let me know if you want to check out this Slow Food tradition because I think we might need reservations
-
Erwin
excellent and slightly less expensive dining... but from what I understand, extremely charming!
-
Old Town
and Piper's Alley: lots of stroll-able small shops
-
Comedy Theater
there's lots to be had in Chicago, from improv to sketch to long form; since lots of the big playhouses are between seasons the little comedy clubs might be perfect for us
-
Green Mill
for some funky jazz
-
Architecture Tour
on a boat in the Chicago river, I hear it's the best touristy thing to do in summer
-
Bonsoire
pre-fix and rad from what I hear
