Drinks & Nightlife
This is my favorite place to go out and groove with some friends over a few drinks. Incredible vibes, all-vinyl DJ sets featuring jams you'd never expect. Great crowd there almost every night.

Sightseeing
This is one of the most epic sights to see on the whole continent. Highly recommended to out-of-towners and the great many Chicagoans who aren't aware that it exists.
Right by some of the best beaches around, and the restaurant scene in Evanston just south of the temple is in a class of its own.

Shopping
One of my favorite stores in Chicago. This place has 5 stories, each with a different theme. Skate shop, designer fashion, boots and shoes, army surplus, and vintage thrift. You can spend a good couple hours in here easily if you feel like exploring.

I love bookstores, but I REALLY love Quimby's. Seriously, I had to stop going here for a while because I was spending too much money. This place is the zine capitol of the world.
