As often as I've been exploring Chicago I've not come across this place! It's on my list now

Explore the world’s largest Starbucks® 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. 646 N Michigan Ave, Chicago.

A good weekend starts with a good cup of coffee, and because Starbucks is turning 50 this year, exploring their unique offerings is the best way to celebrate. Head to the heart of downtown to explore the largest Starbucks in the world: Starbucks Reserve Roastery Chicago, which at five floors is a coffee-lover’s playground. Here, all the coffee is roasted onsite daily by Starbucks Master Roasters, and there is a lot more to explore than just specialty brews. Enjoy fresh-baked Italian fare, coffee-inspired cocktails, or try the exclusive nitrogen-infused gelato, and toast to the big 5-0.

IF you're in or near Chicago.....

The Magnificent Mile is definitely a hotspot for holiday shopping — and not just at chain retailers, either. There are plenty of unique spots to explore.

Galt Baby has more than 35 years experience in stocking modern, fancy, and fun baby gifts and gear. Water Tower Place and The Shops at North Bridge are filled with shopping options and holiday gift possibilities. And Mary Mary Gifts offers unique homewares, art, and global gifts that make it a must-stop shop for locals looking for something truly special.

One of the 49 coolest neighborhood's in the world

We polled 27,000 city-dwellers and asked local experts to rank the greatest places for food, fun, culture and community.

The city’s historic Swedish enclave (take note of the flag on the neighborhood's iconic water tower), Andersonville is now better known for its LGBTQ+ nightlife and the bars and restaurants that line the Clark Street corridor. Over the past year, the area has bounced back in a big way, welcoming new bars (Nobody’s Darling, the Bird Cage) and restaurants (Parson’s Chicken & Fish), while events like the Taste of Andersonville have done a top job of showcasing beloved local institutions. The district has always been a desirable place to live, but its proximity to beaches and coastal parks has only made it more appealing during the pandemic. Andersonville is also a community that’s looking forward, launching initiatives like Clark Street Composts – a pilot program that could serve as a model for eco-friendly composting throughout Chicago.

The perfect day: Start off with coffee and pastries from Scandi-inspired bakery Lost Larson, before checking out the vintage knick-knacks at Woolly Mammoth or feminist literature at Women & Children First. Next, stroll along the picturesque Foster Beach, then snag a table at Hopleaf and enjoy mussels and Belgian beer. Round off your day with a drag show at the Bird Cage or a surreal performance of the Neo-Futurists’ Infinite Wrench.
