Chicago is full of fun things to do, see, and eat.
If you’re a seasoned and savvy traveler, and you’ve been to all of the major tourist spots in Chicago many times before—Navy Pier, “The Bean”, The Magnificent Mile—add something extraordinary and curious to your itinerary this time around.
For Foodies Looking for an Epicurean Adventure
Chicago is full of excellent places to eat.
Now operating out of bigger and better digs, Duck Sel, Michelin-starred chef Donald Young’s brainchild, is back in business. Since the initial launch in 2021, this culinary juggernaut has evolved into an experience like no other—especially since it was named a semifinalist for a James Beard Best Chef: Great Lakes award. But, I can’t tell you where. It’s a secret. Seriously.
Once you book your preferred time slot and date, you’ll be notified that the address will be given just before your reservation. You’ll be given a code and a secret password to enter and once inside you’ll be taken on a wild and whimsical ride through 15 courses.
Young will walk you through each plated dish, relaying stories from not only his childhood, but also, his classical French training in France and his avant-garde techniques he learned on his own. There will be surprises—you won’t find spoilers here. This will be the dinner you tell all your friends about later.
For Sports Enthusiasts Interested in the Fan Experience
The Chicago Fire at a recent match at Soldier Field.
Soon, there will be a new massive privately-funded soccer-specific stadium for The Chicago Fire, built in the city’s newest neighborhood: The 78. But, until that grand day comes, The Men in Red will play at Soldier Field for loyal fans at home matches.
Whether you purchase a single-match ticket, or you’re looking for something a bit more special with Premium Seating—Fieldside Seats and Lounges or Executive and Skyline Suites, you’ll enjoy a thrilling time from the first whistle to the last.
Where to stay: Located within walking distance, Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Chicago has everything you might need. For dining and drinks, pop in Arc Bar, Sixes and Eights, or Third Star, or grab snacks from Market. The fitness studio and swimming pool also make this hotel an excellent choice for families.
