Great food and great atmosphere. Found this place while walking through Vienna and trying to find something other than schnitzel, as much as a I love it. The chicken kabobs with tzatziki sauce were wonderful.

A beautiful trail with very nice fall foliage coming in. This place offers restrooms and a playground for small kids. There are dog bags and this place is dog friendly. The trail is well kept. There is a bike path option and a nature trail option.

Very good authentic style German food. The pork was great. It had a nice smoked flavor and the sausage was bold. The Wiener schnitzel was good as well with a buttery finish. The interior of the place had a very timely and old world feel to it. The different beers from the attached brewery are worth trying in one of their four beer flights.

Navy pier is a nice place to walk and see the beautiful skyline of Chicago. There are also places along the pier to buy snacks or beverages. You can drink alcohol your purchase there up and down the pier as well as being able to bring it on one of the shoreline sight seeing tours. I was there without kids so I didn’t check out much of the amenities for families there. This was more to catch our boat and to see the skyline lit up at night.

Super cool park in the middle of giant skyscrapers. The famous Cloudgate is there but you may know it as the bean. There is a video display that teases those below and makes them wait for it to spew out water. There is also a gift shop for souvenirs.
