A popular ice cream stop. They have food and are a sit-down restaurant as well, but the highlight are their sundaes. Even if you're taking out, prepare for a wait (if going at peak times)

My favorite deep dish spot! Protip: don't get too many toppings, otherwise the crust (which is the best part) gets soggy.

Sightseeing

It'll be crowded if you go at peak times, but definitely worth seeing. It's also beautiful at night when the Chicago skyline lights reflect off of it.

This area is really cool. Good views of the city and the lake. Architecturally, the buildings, museum, and Soldier Field (at least the old part) are very interesting. And of course, the museums themselves are worthy destinations. There's the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium, and the Shedd Aquarium.

Cool beach to hang out at: on one side is the massive lake, and on the other side are the Chicago skyscrapers, which makes for a pretty unique view.

Essentials

Neighborhood grocery store that has pretty good prices on produce. Also, because of the Latino community in the neighborhood, it has a lot of cultural foods you might not find in more mainstream grocery stores.

Arts & Culture

The Art Institute is a large museum and is often included in the best art museums in the world. It's home to famous works like American Gothic, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and Nighthawks.
