Another fantastic pizza option and most likely one of the deep-dish pizza options you've heard mentioned by others. This location has a parking lot so it makes picking up a pie to-go a breeze compared to some other city options, delivery is also possible. Surprisingly we prefer the THIN crust!

River Architecture Tour (Wendella Company)
By far the best view of Chicago is from a boat. It's touristy, but it's a must - hop on one of the many tours that happen daily to see the city from the river and learn more about its rich history. It also puts you right in the middle of downtown, which makes it easy to run over to the Bean or Navy Pier afterward.
