Our preferred deep-dish!

Lou Malnati's is legendary for its pizza in the pan. Lou's sausage is their specialty. We also like to order the Malnati Salad (dressing on the side- it's delicious but quite sweet!).

With an ethos of spotlighting ingredients first, Shaw’s menu features simple preparations executed to perfection to allow quality to take center stage"

For an iconic skyline view!

Enjoy a meal or drink while taking in all the sights and sounds of the city from above. LondonHouse has one of the best rooftop bars in Chicago! It fills up fast, so we highly recommend getting a reservation if you plan to go.

"Named “Best Steakhouse in Chicago” by the Chicago Tribune Dining Poll, Best of Citysearch Poll and Metromix on CLTV, Harry Caray’s serves the finest prime, aged steaks, chops and Italian favorites. The sophisticated, high-energy restaurant pays tribute to the beloved Chicago Cubs sportscaster for whom the restaurant is named."

Such a fun spot for a group!

Whatever you’re craving, Hub 51 probably has it. From the best nachos in Chicago to sushi, burgers, tacos and craft beers, they are River North’s go-to spot for lunch, dinner, weekend brunch and late-night eats.

One of Sarah's favorites!
