Lake Michigan is one of the most beautiful shorelines in the U.S. and therefore the perfect spot to take your sweetheart on a waterfront date. Share a kiss on one of Chicago’s gorgeous lakeside beaches or spend a day walking from the Oak Street Beach to North Avenue Beach. Chicago’s Riverwalk is yet another brilliant spot by the water, soaked in this city’s contemporary architecture and electrifying restaurant scene.
Speaking of restaurants, you haven’t experienced a date night in Chicago if you haven’t been on a Chicago date that involves the city’s eclectic cuisine. Lovers must eat too, so why not eat in style?
Le Bouchon in Bucktown brings a hint of French amour, but if you want something more quintessential in this vibrant city, book a table for two at Vincent, Avec, or Scofflaw. Steaks at Boeufhaus are perfect too!
