CHICAGO GOURMET This annual culinary tour de force takes over Millennium Park (and the city) and celebrates the Chicago’s globally recognized food scene Sept. 24-29 Originally founded by the Illinois Restaurant Association, the annual Chicago Gourmet is a much-celebrated “concert of culinary delights” produced in partnership with Bon Appétit magazine and sponsored by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.

Expect celebrity chefs headlining cooking demonstrations and doing Q&As, an incredible lineup of food, wine, spirits and beer tastings, as well as wine and mixology seminars to share what’s currently trending. In all, more than 250 of Chicago’s finest restaurants and chefs partake in this massive collaboration — with most of the tasting sessions occurring in Millennium Park Sept. 28-29 and several movie, TV and theater-inspired culinary events around

town leading up to it. A few highlights of note: Sept. 27 from 12-2 p.m. — Battle of the Masters at Swift & Sons is an afternoon of delectable food, paired wine and toe-tapping musical numbers.

Sept. 27 from 6-9 p.m. — The annual Hamburger Hop is a tasty burger showdown held on the Harris Theater rooftop.

Sept. 28 from 8-11 p.m. — The Gourmet Chili Cook-Off is a star-studded competition located on the Harris Theater rooftop.

Sept. 29 from 8:30-10:45 a.m. or 10 a.m.-12:15 p.m. — The Rise & Shine Gourmet at the Chicago Athletic Association is a comforting combination of yoga and brunch.

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.

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.

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

A new exhibit that captures the imagination is Fore!

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.

Stock and Ledger

CHICAGO CURRY HOUSE

At Stock and Ledger, they believe in the concept of investing a little more time when it comes to sourcing quality ingredients — locally farmed, sustainable and hormone and antibiotic free. This newly constructed space offers a modern design but carries a neighborhood feel as well, making it ideal for a working lunch in the sunny atrium, a private event or dinner before a show.

Featured dishes: New to the menu is the sustainable salmon that comes to rest on a bed of arugula, green beans, cherry tomatoes, basil and avocado with a balsamic glaze. Nueske’s bacon risotto is another rich, delectable favorite, and the combination of smoked gouda and parmesan do the trick. Insider’s tip: Check out their 3-7 p.m. weekday happy hour in the bar and patio that includes $8 wines, $10 martinis and cocktails, $5 beers and a number of discounted shared plates. 70 W. Madison. 312-754-0395. StockAndLedger.com
