Were a 20 year old recently engaged couple going on a trip to Chicago for four days any fun ideas?|157705

We_re Indian if that matters, and we would def like to fit Devon Ave into our itineraries and Chinatown it looks really nice. I checked out some travel websites and there_s so much to choose from so I wanted to know if any of you guys could narrow it down a little bit. Thanks a lot! Your answers would be a great help!

Congratulations on your engagement.

I recommend a boat cruise either on Lake Michigan, or up the Chicago River. You can catch it where Michigan Avenue crosses the river.

Yes, Devon Street is great. An Indian coworker took me there when we went to Chicago for training (we live 3 hours from Chicago). Now I_ve married a woman whose parents live in Chicago, and a good friend moved to Chicago, so I am there several times per year, and I insist on going to Devon street nearly every time I_m in town.

Millennium Park is nice. It is right downtown, so a good view of the skyline. They have a polished metal _bean_ about 20_ high. There is also a fountain where water comes out of two large towers with video displays inside. They show pictures of faces, and it looks like the water is coming out of the people_s mouths. It sounds weird, but it is fun on a hot day.

Chicago also has a lot of theatre, so you may consider seeing a play.

Congratulations! Yes, Devon has some wonderful Indian places. I recommend Tiffin restaurant. Food is wonderful. There is a lot to choose from here in Chicago. Navy pier is a really fun place. There is a huge ferris wheel (romantic!) and lots of great shopping, food, IMAX theater. It_s a bit tourist-y, but still a lot of fun. The museum campus has some of the greatest museums in the country. Even if museums aren_t typically your thing, the area they are in is gorgeous and gives amazing views of the skyline. Lincoln Park Zoo is a great place to walk around and spend a day at. Take a walk up and down Michigan Avenue to do some great shopping and really get a feel of downtown. There are so many street festivals here in the summer- check out metromix.com and plug in your dates to get some ideas. Chicago has a lot of great neighborhoods too- you could pick on, like Lincoln Park, Old Town, Bucktown and just walk around to get a feel for the area. Hope you have a fun trip!
