FALL COLORS AND MORE Where to go to still experience autumn colors and enjoy the best of what Chicago has to offer this week Early November can be a wonderful time to experience Chicago. The fall colors are peaking, there are lots of events going on in the city, and there is a decent chance you can still go exploring in nothing more than a light jacket. If the weather is still holding, the best spot to take in the most vibrant colors is Lincoln Park (especially in and around Lincoln Park Zoo), nestled between high-rise condos and Lake Michigan just north of downtown. . The versatile Millennium Park is obviously a big draw for visitors, and the Bean, officially known as Cloud Gate, is an Instagram hotspot, especially when the trees nearby are a dazzling red and yellow like they are now. A stroll down the tree-lined Magnificent Mile

or through Grant Park is also a must, especially if you can make it across Lake Shore Drive to Museum Campus, where you can look back toward Millennium Park for a great panoramic shot full of colors. Running through Nov. 2 is Navy Pierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pier Pumpkin Lights pop-up experience, complete with nearly 1,000 pumpkins, jack-o-lantern towers, glowing light displays, Halloween festivities and various food and drink specials. Another highly anticipated event to take advantage of during your stay is the recent opening of the exhibit Andy Warhol â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From A to B and Back Again at the Art Institute of Chicago. For more information on this exhibit, see page 14. Get the app keychicago

BIG BUS TOUR

In Chicago, November can be the type of month that can serve as a last, hopeful reminder of manageable fall weather or a precursor of what’s to come with winter on the horizon. If the latter is the case, and you still want to experience the best of Chicago without battling the elements, here are a few ideas to stay dry, warm and entertained. Hidden beneath Chicago’s downtown streets is the Pedway, a safe and convenient way to get around downtown when the weather isn’t great. Used by tens of thousands of pedestrians per day, it’s a complex system of underground tunnels and overhead bridges that link more than 40 blocks, covering nearly five miles and connecting more than 50 public and private buildings, commuter rail lines and CTA stations. A great way to utilize the Pedway system

while learning plenty about the city’s vast history and architectural marvels is through the passionate, knowledgeable folks at Chicago Detours, who offer a Loop Interior Architecture Walking Tour. Step inside and follow a creative route through buildings and secret shortcuts to gain a new perspective on Chicago, using iPads along the way to appreciate historic photos, documentary video clips and maps. Beautiful lobbies, churches, department stores, Tiffany mosaics, historic sites and hidden corridors of landmark buildings sites are what you’ll explore, and 90 percent of the tour is inside — perfect for those blustery November days. See more information on this and all Chicago Detours’ options at ChicagoDetours. com 312-350-1131. ChicagoDetours.com

Stay out of the chilly November air and enjoy a climate -controlled, hop-on, hop-off bus tour with Big Bus Tours that includes stops all the iconic attractions and landmarks — 14 in all — from the Hancock Tower to the Adler Planetarium and Millennium Park. Discover your own Chicago favorites along the way and enjoy a variety of ticket options to customize your own experience. 877-285-4796. BigBusTours.com

Free culture

Built in 1897, the Chicago Cultural Center (78 E. Washington) is not only one of the city’s most popular attractions, it’s also considered one of the most inclusive arts showcases in the country. Home to the largest Tiffany stained-glass dome in the world, it also boasts an incredible amount of free art exhibits, lectures, film screenings and performances every day of the week. Whether appreciating the architecture of this iconic building or stopping in for a dose of culture, it’s easy to spend a good portion of your day at this national landmark. Insider’s tip: Free 45-minute tours are offered at 1:15 p.m. from Wednesday-Saturday, departing from the Randolph Street lobby on the first floor. Stick around in the warmth of the Cultural Center to experience the Chicago Architecture Biennial, which happens to be the largest showcase of contemporary architecture, art and design in North America, offering up

a variety of free exhibitions, performances, films and talks. Noteworthy are the free tours of the exhibition space in the Chicago Cultural Center are offered Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5–6 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. 78 E. Washington. Visit ChicagoArchitectureBiennial. org for more information on the calendar of events. For a fascinating little piece of history, head to the Clarke House Museum, Chicago’s oldest house. Built in 1836, the building’s history goes back to a preCivil War era when Chicago, surrounded by prairies, had just received its charter prior. Over the years, the house has belonged to a church, was moved twice and has survived multiple fires — and now resides in the Prairie Avenue Historic District and is operated as a museum by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. Admission is free, and free one-hour guided tours are offered Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. 1827 S. Indiana Ave. ClarkeHouseMuseum.org

More epic sights to see 1 At The Skydeck Chicago, you can enjoy views from the 103rd floor of the iconic Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), some 1,353 feet up in the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. And did you know that you can see four different states on a clear day. No kidding. Are you ready for a thrill in Chicago? Save time to test your will with a stroll out on “The Ledge,” where glass bays extend out four feet from the Skydeck to provide a truly unique view of the city. On the walk to the elevators, discover the best of Chicago with some museum-quality exhibits and a theater presentation called Reaching For The Sky. Taking the kids? Check out the Skydeck’s website before your trip to explore a bunch of kid-specific activities, including fact sheets, quizzes, scavenger hunts and more. The Willis Tower Skydeck is open 365 days a year. 233 S. Wacker Dr., with the Skydeck entrance on Franklin. TheSkydeck.com

The Odyssey Chicago River cruise is the first of its kind in the city, with a three-course plated dinner served up in their elegant, state-of-the-art, glassenclosed vessel that provides 360-degree views of the incredible architecture that lines the river. An onboard DJ and dance floor add to the fun, and while it’s climate-controlled on the interior for a pleasant, year-round experience, the single-level ship does provide accessible outdoor decks if you’d like to soak in the sights and get some fresh air or a memorable Instagram shot. With docking space on the north side of the Chicago River, there is easy access to the Magnificent Mile. Odyssey also provides brunch and cocktail cruises on the river, and an assortment of entertaining cruises on larger ships on Lake Michigan, departing from Navy Pier. 866-305-2469. OdysseyCruises.com

MOB HISTORY

Chicago’s crime underworld Chicago Architecture Center

HOP ABOARD

Founded back in 1966, the Chicago Architecture Center is one of the largest cultural organizations in the city. If you like a wide variety of tours, this is the place to be, as the CAC offers some 85 different options for discovering the city, with topics ranging from Historic Neighborhoods and Evolving Chicago to Art Deco Skyscrapers, Chicago’s Amazing Fair of 1893 and Parks and Public Spaces. 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. Opened just last year, the organization’s sparkling 20,000-square-foot center overlooks the river and serves as a gateway for discovering Chicago’s array of architecture through exciting tours, programs and exhibits. The centerpiece of the new facility is the Chicago Model Experience, featuring better than 4,000 buildings and various interactive elements that bring you closer to the sprawling city outside. 111 E. Wacker Dr. 312-922-3432. Architecture.org

The history of Chicago’s crime underworld is a vast one, and there’s no better way to learn about some of the city’s most famous criminals, mobsters and gangsters — and explore a host of historic crime scenes — than jumping aboard Chicago Crime Tours’ luxury, climate-controlled bus. “One of my favorite Chicago mobsters would probably have to be Dion O’Banion,” says one of Crime Tours’ guides, Michael Dritto. “He was the leader of the North Side gang at one point and ran his bootlegging business out of a flower shop. I love the idea of someone taking hits out on his enemies and then sending them flowers that he personally arranged.” 312-888-6224. ChicagoCrimeTours.com

And just because the 80-degree days may be a distant memory doesn’t mean you can’t still partake in one of the most popular activities in Chicago. The award-winning architectural river cruise aboard Chicago’s First Lady, a fascinating 90-minute excursion and one of the top 10 tours in the country according to TripAdvisor users, is still running in November and offers a climate-controlled first deck. Insider’s tip: Buy a combo ticket for the river cruise and a visit the Chicago Architecture Center and you’ll save $7. 312-922-3432. Architecture.org Get the app keychicago

Museums

All about Warhol The famed Chicago Art Institute is home to one of best, most expansive art collections anywhere in the world — and exploring it can easily occupy an entire day if you allow for it. New to the Institute in late October is the highly anticipated exhibit Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again, a large-scale retrospective that builds on the wealth of new research, knowledge and perspective that have materialized since Warhol’s death in 1987. The first major Warhol display to be organized by a U.S. institution in three decades, visitors will enjoy more than 400 works of one of America’s most beloved and iconic artists. Earning fame in the 1960s for his groundbreaking pop masterpieces, Warhol boasted some equally significant late work, and the exhibit encapsulates all the aspects and different periods of his wide-ranging career, including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, videos, archival and printed material, installation, films and media works. 159 E.

A walk through history

U-505 German submarine

NATURAL WONDER

Chicago’s world-renowned Museum of Science and Industry offers a plethora of vibrant learning opportunities in Hyde Park. We were able to experience the U-505 German submarine exhibit and tour recently and highly recommend it. Captured in June of 1944 during WWII, the 700-ton U-505 was eventually transported through the Great Lakes and to the museum in 1954, where it was displayed outdoors until 2004. The exhibit is great on its own, full of memorabilia, facts and films, but the on-board tour that takes you through a fascinatingly cramped piece of history — to experience life aboard the mysterious Nazi sub that wreaked havoc on British and American supply ships during the war — is full of captivating anecdotes and insight. The tour of the ship is not included in the museum’s general admission price and requires a separate, timed-entry ticket ($18 for adults and $14 for children ages 3-11). On the way out of the exhibit, check out 75 Stories, a collection of rarely seen photographs, journals and artifacts that provide insight into the lives of German and American sailors during the war. 5700 S. Lake Shore Dr. MSIChicago.org

The art of communication

The mission of the Museum of Contemporary Art is to “present contemporary art and culture in ways that illuminate what it means to be a citizen of both Chicago and the world.” Focusing on how our lives are shaped by language and communication is the new exhibit Direct Message: Art, Language, and Power, which explores the ways artists since the 1960s have utilized words to question how we read, write, hear and speak. Make sure to explore all four sections of works in this exhibit that redefines how we understand the art of communication. 220 E. Chicago. MCAChicago.org

If you want to learn about the diversity of life on Earth and its history, the Field Museum — with its nearly 40 million artifacts and specimens — needs to be on your to-do list, especially the extensive dinosaur collection. One must stop is the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit, where visitors can experience the sheer beauty and intrigue of the natural world by way of 100 of the world’s most striking nature photographs chosen by an international panel from more than 45,000 entries. Endangered monkeys, curious walruses and simmering volcanoes. It’s all here. 1400 S. Lake Shore Dr. FieldMuseum.org Get the app keychicago

navy pier

Year-round fun at the lake The most popular attraction in the Midwest is none other than Navy Pier, which draws nearly nine million annual guests to its 50 acres of unparalleled attractions, restaurants, boat docks and family-friendly opportunities. And if you haven’t visited lately, we doubt you’ll recognize it after millions in wonderful renovations and additions. 600 E. Grand. NavyPier.org For a unique cultural experience, check out the Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s threevenue layout that includes the personal Courtyard Theater, which evokes the design of Shakespeare’s Globe and others in early modern England. The classic family drama Romeo + Juliet takes the stage here through Dec. 22. For more, see page 37. 312-595-5600. ChicagoShakes.com When it comes to pure entertainment for the little ones, it’s truly hard to beat the Chicago Children’s Museum, located toward the front of Navy Pier. Inside this active, expansive museum, kids can dig for dinosaur bones, manage a grocery store, test their building skills or help put out a fire. 600 E. Grand. ChicagoChildrensMuseum.org

TAKE A SPIN 200 FEET UP You’ll also find the Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze, an IMAX Theatre, the beautiful Crystal Gardens and the new 200,000 squarefoot cultural family pavilion loaded with restaurants and shopping, as well as the exciting new Offshore rooftop lounge and terrace. Don’t leave without a ride on the iconic Centennial Wheel, which soars 200 feet above the ground and offers enclosed gondolas and 360-degree city views that are easy to win over your Instagram followers.

CHILD’S PLAY

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum

The world-reknowned Shedd Aquarium offers up-close, unforgettable encounters with 32,000 animals from aquatic environments around the world. Save time for the popular aquatic presentations in the oceanarium — where beluga whales, sea lions and dolphins serve as the stars of the show. Insider’s tip: Check the daily schedule of events on the Shedd’s website before you go to make plans to experience the popular animal chats and live dives and feedings. 1200 S. Lake Shore Dr. SheddAquarium.org Rudy’s Bar and Grille is a classic, family-friendly restaurant located just steps from Millennium Park and Michigan Avenue. Loaded with Chicago memorabilia, they serve up reliable and tasty food in a comfortable environment. Try the burger, and treat the kids to one of their famous milkshakes. 69 E. Madison. 312-332-8111. RudysBarAndGrille.com

Blue Man Group

This museum is loaded with enriching exhibits and opportunities for hands-on interactions with a variety of animals. Check out the immersive new exhibit Amazing Pollinators and take on the role of bees, bats, butterflies and beetles while playing games, tackling missions and making your way through a colorful maze. 2430 N. Cannon Dr. NatureMuseum.org

This acclaimed, thoughtprovoking, interactive performance art consists of three blue men drumming, dancing, painting and catching marshmallows in their mouths — plus plenty of new material involving new-age technology. Described by critics as “innovative, energetic and wildly entertaining,” Blue Man Group defies categorization and appeals to all ages. 3133 N. Halsted at the Briar Street Theatre. 773-348-4000. BlueMan.com

Carriage rides

Dylan’s Candy Bar

Horse-drawn carriage rides are as much of a staple on the Magnificent Mile as shopping bags. Treat the family to anything from a quick 20-minute ride around Streeterville and near the lake or opt for a longer, informative tour that includes the Gold Coast, Millennium Park and Theater District. 806 N. Michigan Ave. GreatLakesHorseAndCarriage. com or ChicagoCarriage.com

With a mission to “awaken the creative spirit and inner child in everyone,” Dylan’s makes it a point to surround its customers with not only the most imaginative, tasty décor your eyes have ever seen (think Willy Wonka’s factory), but also the largest selection of candies and candy-related gifts from around the globe. Treat everyone’s sweet tooth at this museum of candy. 663 N. Michigan Ave. DylansCandyBar.com Get the app keychicago

The Fig Tree Uncommon James

COASTAL STYLES

Females at the forefront

If you saw Chef/owner Laura Piper as an eight-year-old, tugging her wagon filled with fresh produce from the family’s garden to sell them door to door to neighbors, you may have envisioned her becoming a passionate restaurant owner and chef who relied heavily on fresh ingredients to create masterful menus at her two sleek, inviting establishments. Both Stock and Ledger and One North Kitchen & Bar are ideal for everything from business lunches to pretheatre cocktails and dinner. A veteran of the reputable kitchens at Gibsons and Frontera Grill, among others, Piper has won the “Best Chefs America” award three times in her career, and her stellar work and creative approach earned One North Kitchen & Bar a spot on the coveted Michelin-recommended list in 2013. Insider’s tip: If you’re headed to a show at the Goodman Theatre or Auditorium Theater, present your ticket for 20 percent off your bill. 70 W. Madison. 312-754-0395. StockAndLedger.com. 1 N. Upper Wacker Dr. 312-750-9700. OneNorthKitchen.com

With an elegant dining room inspired by the Guggenheim in Venice (gallery-worthy art punctuated by marble sculpture, opulent furniture and brass chandeliers) and a French and classic Continental menu created by renowned chef Didier Durand, Marchesa is a stunning culinary work of art in River North. The dramatic space is the brainchild of dining veterans Kathryn Alvera and Jason Clark, who have operated four restaurants together, including Narcisse and Prosecco. Their goals for Marchesa were simple when they opened in 2018: Take guests on a culinary journey through Europe with delicious food and wine served by a welcoming staff, as if an extension of their own homes. Mission accomplished. Try the lamb chops with artichoke risotto or the grilled sea scallops with polenta and king mushrooms. 535 N. Wells. 312-527-9535. MarchesaChicago.com

The Kinzie Chophouse, a gem of a steakhouse nestled in the River North neighborhood and just steps from the Merchandise Mart and the Chicago River, has been offering locals and visitors some of the best steak, homemade pasta and seasonal seafood dishes the city has to offer for nearly 30 years. And did we mention the award-winning wine list? Susan Fransca, who bought the restaurant on her own and refurbished in 1998 when she was just 37, held down the titles of owner, general manager and chef until selling the business in July to Nicole Flevaris and Andreas Tsakonas — and thus keeping alive the rare tradition of a womanowned steakhouse in Chicago. From the menu, try the spicy maple bourbon mussels, pan-seared herb salmon or bone-in Delmonico steak with garlic whipped potatoes. 400 N. Wells. 312-822-0191. KinzieChopHouse.com

At Eris Brewery and Ciderhouse, they take inspiration from the Greek goddess of chaos, who threw the golden apple of discord into a party she wasn’t invited to. The ambitious startup, powered by a trio of women in a maledominated field, is similarly disruptive to the conventional approach of launching a brewpub in a city like Chicago, which is home to more than 100 breweries and growing. At the head of the operation is Michelle Foik, who has more than two decades of experience in the craft beer industry (including at giants like Goose Island and Revolution). Her business partner is Katy Pizza, better known as the “wrangler of details.” Opened in 2018 as the city’s first ciderhouse, brewing facility and restaurant under one roof, the rehabbed old Masonic temple is worth the trip up to Old Irving Park on its own, but off the wide-ranging menu — run by the third member of the female trio, chef Claire Smyth — try the smoked-then-fried cauliflower wings and a burger that consists of a scrumptious blend of Angus chuck, short rib and brisket with sharp cheddar and bacon jam. Wash it down with a Van Van Mojo, a blueberry cider hopped with Mosaic. 4240 W. Irving Park. 773-943-6200. ErisChicago.com Get the app keychicago
