Chicago
Your getaway to Chicago
Morning coffee at Intelligentsia in Logan Square, the neighborhood still waking around you, the baristas serious about their craft. Walk the Lakefront Trail to the Museum Campus, the Shedd Aquarium's rotunda worth the entry, the lake on three sides. Lunch at Publican Quality Meats, a sandwich and a pickle plate at the counter. Afternoon in Wicker Park, browsing the bookstores and vintage shops without urgency, the people-watching its own entertainment. Dinner at Girl & the Goat, the vegetable dishes as celebrated as the meat, the atmosphere lively but not loud. One perfect view from the Signature Lounge, one great meal, one neighborhood to call yours for the night.
