Chicago, Illinois is 16 days away ✦
I'm watching your trip around the clock — flights, weather, events, and everything you still need to do. Here's where things stand today.
Every morning of your trip, I'll drop a briefing like this before you're out of bed.
Landing early afternoon — the Blue Line beats a rideshare to downtown at that hour (45 min, $5). Drop bags in Lincoln Park, then golden hour on the Riverwalk around 6:40 PM. Your deep-dish table at Gino's Eastis best booked for 7:30 — they don't take same-day walk-ins lightly on Fridays. Tonight's alternative if energy is high: blues at Kingston Mines runs till late.
“Is the Salt Shed show rain-or-shine? What should we do if it rains Sunday? Where's the best skyline photo at night?” — I know your itinerary, your dates, and your city. Ask away.
Planned vs. your $2,400 comfort budget.
