Day One
Morning
Less than a 5-minute walk from the Omni Chicago Hotel, you’ll find one of Chicago’s hottest breakfast spots, Sunny Side Up & Coffee Shoppe on Wabash and Superior. Guests of all ages will enjoy the indoor and outdoor seating at this charming old house on the corner. The skillets, hash and chilaquiles garner the most praise, but the French toast is another standout. On the other hand, you could enjoy the stunning views of the bustling Chicago streets at 676 Restaurant on the 4th floor of the Omni Chicago Hotel. The banana bread pancakes are a must, as are the waffles, which you can order topped with everything from caramel apple chutney to brown sugar cream.
After breakfast, take your coffee to go and explore the scenic Riverwalk, which allows you to explore the city’s public art as well as enjoy live performances from local musicians, all with the skyline as a backdrop.
If you’re into shopping, you might also stroll the luxury fashion boutiques along Michigan Avenue. This world-famous shopping district, aptly dubbed The Magnificent Mile, features Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, Swarovski, Chanel, Saks, Nordstrom, Alice + Olivia and dozens of other great shopping options.
