We encourage flying into Chicago O'Hare Airport as opposed to Midway as it is much much closer to Golf/Glenview. Taxis and rideshares are readily available at the airport.

Flights

Travel

The wedding festivities will all be taking place north of the city throughout Golf, Glenview, and Northbrook. Here are some recommendations for things to do and eat when you are in town!

Activities

Stroll through the Chicago Botanic GardensJust under 15 minutes from the hotels, the Chicago Botanic Gardens offer a stunning setting for a peaceful walk. As Lori Meek says, "people come from all over the world to visit the botanic gardens." With 28 unique gardens, we recommend visiting the Japanese and English Gardens.

Wander Around The GlenThe Glen, a modern community built on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station, features the Glen Town Center for shopping and dining, along with Gallery Park, which has trails and a scenic lake. It’s a convenient, walkable area with plenty to explore, just a short drive or rideshare from the hotels.

Go DowntownAlthough we’ll be in the suburbs, downtown Chicago is easy to access. You can drive, take a rideshare, or use the nearby Glenview or Glen train stations, which provide direct service to downtown. Once you're there, we recommend walking along the river, visiting Millennium Park, and checking out the Field Museum.

Play at PinstripesLocated right next to the Sheraton Hotel, Pinstripes is a great spot for fun. With bowling, bocce, a full bar, and food options, it’s a great spot!

Pretend You're in a John Hughes MovieEver wanted to see the "Save Ferris" water tower or the Home Alone house? Many of John Hughes' iconic films were shot on the North Shore, and you can visit several famous locations! Check out the full list here: <a href="John Hughes Tour of the North Shore" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Hughes Tour of the North Shore</a>.

Drive along Sheridan RoadIf you have access to a car, consider driving along Sheridan Road. It’s a beautiful experience. You’ll see impressive houses with views of Lake Michigan, and there are pull-offs where you can stop to take in the beach. You can start or end your drive at Northwestern University!

Food

We (Clara) are biased but here are the musts to eat when you are in the Chicagoland area: Chicago Hotdog (NEVER WITH KETCHUP)Little Louie’s in Northbrook is the best spot to get a classic Chicago hotdog. This place is a local spot and where Clara grew up enjoying them. Chicago-Style PizzaLou Malnati's serves up the best deep-dish pizza. We recommend the sausage or the Lou. Italian BeefPortillo's is famous for its Italian beef sandwiches (they also serve Chicago dogs). If you have room, try their famous cake shake! Non-Chicago Style Pizza:If you're not in the mood for deep dish, Barnaby’s offers fantastic thin-crust pizza with old-school vibes. SarkisInfamous on the Northshore for breakfast. We recommend the bacon loretta with cheesy hash but you can't go wrong with anything!

If you are looking for something outside of Chicago classics, here are some great restaurants in the area: Trattoria Oliverii: Delicious Italian in NorthbrookGeorgie V’s: A great breakfast spot in NorthbrookValley Lodge: A cozy American restaurant in GlenviewThe Happ Inn: Another charming American spot in NorthfieldMeier’s Tavern: Amazing burgers! For more dining options, there are a few restaurants near the Sheraton Hotel, as well as The Glen and Old Orchard Mall are nearby and offer plenty of restaurant choices.
