Airports

Chicago O’Hare

45 mins - 1hr from downtown

Chicago Midway

35-50 from downtown

We like and use both airports, Midway is just much smaller and less busy.

Both airports have public transit lines attached. Lyft & Uber fares are typically $40-80 depending on time of day.

Things to Do

If this is your first time in Chicago…

  • The Bean is currently under construction but lucky for you - it won’t be in October!

    In case of inclement weather, you can catch an aerial view of The Bean from Cindy’s Rooftop. The food at Cindy’s is mid though (and that’s us being generous) however we love The Chicago Athletic Association so while you’re there stop into The Game Room.

  • Listen…deep dish pizza is not good (fight us!) BUT if you have to have it, get it at Lou Malnatis or Pequods and literally nowhere else. Seriously, promise us you won’t step foot in Giordano’s or Uno.

    Pizza not your thing? Get a Chicago dog at Portillos or an Italian beef at Al’s.

  • It’s a tourist’s rite of passage to learn about Chicago’s history and architecture while cruising up and down the Chicago River. Book a ticket here.

If you’ve been here before…

  • We love all of the Hogsalt restaurants, baked goods from places like Sugar Moon, Kasama, Publican and Loaf Lounge. Oh and how could we not mention the iconic cinnamon roll at Ann Sathers!

  • Whether it’s your first or 20th time in Chicago, the lake is such a treat. You can find us walking or biking here in the early mornings on most weekends.

  • Go beyond downtown and explore neighborhoods like Wicker Park, Logan Square, Pilsen and Andersonville! Just let us know where you’re headed and we can give you recommendations for local spots.
