One of the most notable romantic spots in Chicago, if not the entire city, is Geja’s Café. Open since 1965, it holds the record for most engagements at one restaurant, and is flanked by a delicious menu of fondue and fine wines.
Lincoln Park is the capital of boutiques in Chicago, with goods for kids, pets, home and more. Art Effect is a popular spot carrying women’s clothing, jewelry, art, trendy necklaces and kitschy home goods that make great gifts too.
Find drinks with a view at the J. Parker, the 13th floor rooftop bar and restaurant that sits atop Hotel Lincoln. The year-round glass enclosed space offers stunning views of Lincoln Park and offers drinks like Flanagan’s Frappe.
As its name might suggest, Lincoln Park is situated near a prominent area of greenery, but there’s also places like Lincoln Park Zoo where you can play free year-round.
