RUN MAG MILE This incredibly unique 5k and 10k race traverses Chicago’s treasured Michigan Avenue on Saturday, Sept. 7 One of the city’s most iconic attractions, the Magnificent Mile, is the centerpiece for Run Mag Mile, a unique 5K and 10K race offering a scenic course that takes participants down Michigan Avenue, passing the Tribune Tower, Wrigley Building, Water Tower Place, 875 N. Michigan (formerly the John Hancock Building) and dozens of the street’s high-end shops and hotels. Whether you’re new to running, a competitive racer aiming to set a personal record, or just visiting and looking for a one-

of-a-kind way to get some exercise, Run Mag Mile offers it all — even a post-race party that includes food, beverages and music. And to make you feel even better, the Chicago Help Initiative is the official charity of the race. It’s a locally funded organization that feeds Chicago’s homeless and connects them to valuable resources and social services in an effort to change their lives for the better. The race is held Saturday, Sept. 7 at 7 a.m. in Grant Park. Visit RunMagMile for more information.

Looking to load up on some carbs the night before the race, or in the mood for an Italian lunch or dinner with friends and family afterward? Labriola is situated ideally along the racecourse at 535 N. Michigan Ave. See page 34 for more. 312-955-3100. LabriolaCafe.com Get the app keychicago

Best skyline views

Segway sights

Museum Campus

The view from Museum Campus — between the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium specifically — is stunning for sure, especially if you’re a fan of taking panoramic photos that can display everything from Soldier Field to Grant Park, Millennium Park and the skyline all the way across to include Lake Michigan, some sailboats and the Planetarium. “It’s where you see our front porch,” says Lance Friedmann, tour director of the Chicago Architecture Center’s river cruises. “It’s unbeatable.”

Millennium Park

1,353 FEET UP

The Bean in Millennium Park, officially known as Cloud Gate, is a popular spot for reflective photos — and particularly appealing on a clear day when you can get the historic buildings on Michigan Avenue in the frame with you. Just a bit to the south of the Bean is Lurie Garden, an oasis of sorts that will provide a flower-filled photo op of the skyline from a different angle.

Had enough sitting or walking while taking in all the sights? Try something new and let these self-balancing machines do the work for you, and then rely on Absolutely Chicago Segway to lead you on a fun, unique tour that covers the lakefront and museums, art and architecture, or even the city’s gangster or haunted past. 312-552-5100. ChicagoSegways.com

Beachfront access Oak Street Beach (500 N. Lake Shore Dr. north to 1550 N. Lake Shore), is just a short walk from the Magnificent Mile and is a great spot for photos, as it offers spectacular skyline vantage points of the aqua-colored lake, the former Hancock building, famous Drake Hotel and a host of age-defying Gold Coast condos along the lake.

Few places in the world offer up views as transcendent as The Skydeck Chicago, located on the 103rd floor of the iconic Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), some 1,353 feet up in the secondtallest building in the Western Hemisphere, complete with interactive kiosks and educational exhibits. And guess what? You can see four different states on a clear day. No kidding. And don’t forget to test your will with a stroll out on “The Ledge,” where glass bays extend out four feet from the Skydeck for a great Christmas card shot. The Willis Tower Skydeck is open 365 days a year. 233 S. Wacker Dr., with the Skydeck entrance on Franklin. TheSkydeck.com

Saint or sinner?

85 TOUR OPTIONS

Time to decide if you’re more saint or sinner. With the Saints & Sinners Walking Tour: Chicago’s Legacy of Virtue and Vice, the Driehaus Museum, which focuses on the architecture, art and design of the late 19th century (think Gilded Age), leads you on an educated stroll through River North in an exploration of the city’s complex history of both humanity and corruption, as well as prohibition and the Temperance Movement. Highlights include stops at the area’s stately churches and historic pubs, where you can enjoy a few libations should you choose. The tour runs Fridays from 1-4 p.m. through October 4 and covers a mile and a half. Tickets are $50, and $30 for non-drinkers. 40 E. Erie. DriehausMuseum.org

PADDLE IN HAND

Kayaking down the Chicago River has a tendency to make you feel so small in such a big city. It provides a unique perspective of the amazing architecture and energy of Chicago, as well as ample photo opportunities that are impossible to get any other way than with a paddle in your hands. Check out KayakChicago.com for more information on exploring the river by way of a guided tour or on your own.

The Chicago Architecture Center is one of the largest cultural organizations in the city, offering 85 different tour options for exploring the city. Led by volunteer docents with a passion for all things Chicago, you can expect an informative, entertaining dose of city architecture and history, as well as opportunities for some stellar photo opportunities, especially on an architecture cruise aboard Chicago’s First Lady. Insider’s tip: Buy a combo ticket for the river cruise and a visit to the Chicago Architecture Center and you’ll save $7. 312-922-3432. Architecture.org

Riverwalk

Fun on the river’s edge 1 Hopefully by now, whether you’ve been here a week or an hour, you’ve come to the full realization that Chicago traffic can be pretty awful, so why suffer through red lights and potholes when you can get shuttled from one impressive landmark to another on Lake Michigan or the Chicago River, and in style, with Shoreline Sightseeing’s water taxi service? Shoreline offers five taxi docks, all conveniently located near major attractions like the Willis Tower, Michigan Avenue/Riverwalk, Museum Campus and Navy Pier, making it both efficient and fun to experience as much as possible during your stay. And the Instagram possibilities are endless. 312-222-9328. ShorelineSightseeing.com

Offering an impressive rotating list of brews, with a serious emphasis on the local craft beer scene, Chicago Brewhouse enters its second season on the Riverwalk and has established itself as one of the pathway’s most popular gathering spots. A lot of that has to do with a creative assortment of sharable street foods from Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods (think crab wontons, al pastor tacos, Maxwell Street Polish sausage, falafel and hummus bowls, etc.). 31 E. Riverwalk. ChicagoBrewhouse.com

Free art displays are always good. Especially something this size. Art on theMART is a permanent public art installation that is unprecedented in scale, utilizing more than one million lumens to illuminate the 2.5-acre façade of theMart (formerly the Merchandise Mart) every night approximately 30 minutes after sunset. The innovative software-driven platform allows curators to create an ongoing, timely and engaging exhibition of imagery from various artists. The best views are on the Riverwalk between Wells and Lake Streets. For more info, visit ArtOnTheMart.com

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

The Chicago Riverwalk, a relatively new (and quite popular) open-air pathway more than a mile long that blends the energy of the city with a sense of outdoor living. Spanning from Lake Shore Drive to Lake Street, it’s filled with several dining and drinking possibilities, as well as fun activities (kayaks, boat rentals, tours, etc.). Quite simply, it’s a gorgeous space to relax and take in the sights at river level. See page 30 for restaurants with great views of the river.

’S INSIDER YOUR GUIDE TO CHICAGO

Kids’ Corner HUNGRY YET?

Mini golf with nature

The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is loaded with enriching exhibits and opportunities for handson interactions with a variety of animals, especially in September, when you can still explore the entire grounds. Plan your day around the Critter Connection from 1212:15 p.m. each day, where you can get up close with one of the 50 animal species that reside in the museum’s lab (think snakes, turtles, salamanders, etc.) or enjoy an animal feeding from 1-1:15 p.m. each day in the Mysteries of the Marsh exhibit. A new exhibit that captures the imagination is Fore! The Planet, a miniature golf game with themed holes that help little ones learn more about the natural world around us, and how they can help keep the Earth going strong. 2430 N. Cannon Dr. NatureMuseum.org

What kid (or adult) doesn’t like pizza? Especially the kind where the cheese can stretch across the table, served up piping hot with a flaky, golden crust and loaded with as many toppings as you can think of? Well, Gino’s East has five decades worth of experience and a stellar national reputation for iconic deep-dish specialties. Come hungry to one of their four Chicago locations at 500 N. LaSalle, 162 E.

Shopping

River North Art District Leica camera showrooms in the world. Showcasing unretouched film and digital photographs from the legendary Leica camera is a natural extension of their passion for the brand. Check out Short Stories by Richard Bram, the quintessential street photographer who has spent 30 years looking for the shot that asks questions, not just answers them. 300 W. Superior, second floor. 312-642-2255. RangefinderGallery.com

VALE CRAFT GALLERY

The River North Arts District — located primarily along Chicago, Superior and Huron between LaSalle and Orleans — now boasts the largest concentration of art galleries in the entire United States outside of Manhattan.

3 26

Since 1992, Vale Craft Gallery owner Peter Vale has been exhibiting contemporary American fine crafts and sculptures, including works in metal, fiber, clay, glass, wood and mixed media by primarily Chicago and Midwestern artists. A new exhibit worth checking out is Color and Texture featuring fiber art by Boisali Biswas and ceramic vessels and wall pieces by Randy O’Brien — both of whom catch the eye with bold colors and innovative textures. 230 W. Superior. 312-337-3525. ValeCraftGallery.com Addington Gallery, a major part of the River North District for more than two decades, is known for a type of art that dates as far back as the 4th century B.C. — paintings created with hot wax, as well as both abstract and representational contemporary paintings. Susan Kraut: Interiors is on display this month, featuring paintings “meant to evoke a small piece of the world caught in a moment of stillness,” according to the artist. 704 N. Wells. 312-664-3406. AddingtonGallery.com The Rangefinder Gallery is part of the Tamarkin Camera showroom, considered “America’s premier Leica specialist” since 1971 and one of the largest keymagazinechicago.com

Both established and emerging artists provide Gallery Victor Armendariz’s contemporary art collection in a variety of media. The studio is designed to be a “thought-provoking examination of the creative process.” Stop by to step into the pop cultureobsessed world of artist Steve Banks. Think Star Wars, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds and comic strips. With his unique art, he urges us to not only relate to it but have an opinion about it. 300 W. Superior. 312-722-6447. GalleryVictor.com

Oktoberfest celebrations

OKTOBERFEST STREET FESTS German-American Oktoberfest Sept. 6-8 This massive celebration of all things Deutschland heritage is held in the quaint Lincoln Square neighborhood at the corner of Western and Leland Avenues and serves as the official kickoff of the season. The street party consists of two giant tents and plenty of German grub, music and dancing. Germanday.com/Oktoberfest

Revolution Oktoberfest Sept. 27-28 The Berghoff — Sept. 8-Oct. 8

The Berghoff, and its incredible 121-year history in town, is forgoing its normal outdoor festival in favor of an extended celebration inside the iconic restaurant in the Loop. It all kicks off with a tappingof-the-keg event on Sept. 8, and the fun continues all the way through Oct. 8, with live Oktoberfest music every Thursday-Saturday in that timeframe. Expect plenty of reubens, sauerbratens and schnitzels throughout the event, which dates back to 1984, and now gets to show off the beautifully restored bar and new in-house brewery, Adams Street Brewery. Enjoy a few pints of their Oktoberfest bier, which happens to be brewed by a third-generation employee. 17 W. Adams. TheBerghoff.com

Hofbräuhaus Sept. 13-Oct. 31

There’s no celebration like Munich, but this six-week party might come as close as you can find in the Chicago area. Hofbrauhaus in suburban Rosemont features live music, gigantic steins of Oktoberfestbier and a menu of Bavarian schnitzels, sausages and more. 5500 Park Place in Rosemont. HofbrauhausChicago.com

The popular Revolution Brewery turns Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square into a block’s worth of Bavaria for two days with another incarnation of its annual Oktoberfest street festival that features a barrel-aged beer tent, plenty of live music and great food. Located outside the Revolution Brewpub at 2323 N. Milwaukee Ave. RevBrew.com

Oktoberfest Chicago at St. Alphonsus Sept. 26-28 Arguably the most popular Oktoberfest celebration (and fall event) for locals, this Lakeview festival is back for an 18th season with an impressive array of beer, brats, giant pretzels and authentic German bands — and plenty to keep the kids entertained. Don’t miss the craft beer tastings inside the parish’s German beer hall. Located at the corner of Lincoln, Wellington and Southport. OktoberfestChicago.org Get the app keychicago

restaurants BEATNIK ON THE RIVER

Dining with a river view A year and a half ago, Beatnik On The River debuted its 80-seat riverfront patio, and earlier this year, the interior dining room followed suit to provide Chicago with another incredible space in which to dine (the original Beatnik resides in the West Town neighborhood). The patio is filled with pillow-topped Indonesian daybeds, Moroccan lanterns and plenty of lush greenery, as Beatnik on the River draws inspiration from the Bohemian hipsters of the 1950s and ‘60s. The menu blends the flavors of Asia, Mexico, the Middle East and South America. 180 N. Upper Wacker Dr. BeatnikOnTheRiver.com Established in 1996, Rivers, which is located on the lobby level of the CME Building, is one of the Loop’s more popular restaurants, especially for business lunches or for meeting up for happy hour drinks or dinner. Its proximity to the Civic Opera House and several downtown theaters makes it a sought-after spot for a pre-show meal — especially with its seasonally changing, contemporary American cuisine (Insider’s tip: Take advantage of the fresh fish selections). The large outdoor covered deck overlooking the river is quite popular as long as the weather holds. 30 S. Wacker. 312-559-1515. RiversRestaurant.com

RIVERS

RIVER ROAST As if the stunning views of downtown and the Chicago River weren’t enough, River Roast is also home to James Beard Award-winning chef Tony Mantuano and executive chef Cedric Harden. The menu leans toward contemporary American tavern fare, but the presentations can be dramatic (see the whole roasted chick and fish), with several options meant to be shared. Insider’s tip: Check out the Blues and Brews Brunch with live music from 12-3 p.m. on weekends. 315 N. LaSalle. 312-822-0100. RiverRoastChicago.com

Now that’s the perfect trifecta. See Zoltan Kaszas Sept. 6-8, the Comedy Brunch Sept. 7-8 and the Standup Showcase Sept. 9. 500 N. LaSalle. 312-836-0499. ComedyBar.com

Spamalot

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, featuring ridiculous men in tight pants — not to mention cows, killer rabbits and French people. Winner of three Tony Awards, it’s a positively medieval satire with a sharp wit. Tickets available at MercuryTheaterChicago.com

The artistic launching point for an impressive array of comedy superstars in TV and film, The Second City celebrates its 60th anniversary with the 108th Mainstage Revue that launched Sept. 3. As the revue develops with a rotation of new material in front a live audience over a 10week process, it’s important not to leave the theater before witnessing a completely improvised third act that relies heavily on crowd participation. 1616 N. Wells Street, Chicago. 312-337-3992. SecondCity.com

Pomona

Considered part thriller and part fantastical puzzle, award-winning Alistair McDowall’s Pomona, called “utterly riveting” by the Chicago Tribune, winds its way through a world built on pain and suffering and begs the question: Is it even possible to be good anymore? Extended through Sept. 14 at the Steep Theatre. 1115 West Berwyn Ave. (773) 649-3186. SteepTheatre.com

There was only one day in history when all five of these U.S. Presidents were in the same room at the same time — just prior to the memorial service for Richard Nixon.
