Gold Coast

La Perla, Sony, Sak’s, Bloomingdale’s, Lunch at Spiaggo, window shop in the Water Tower Place, have dessert in The Cheesecake Factory on the lower level of the Hancock Building, see the view from the top of the Hancock, stand in line for Garrett’s Cheese and Caramel Popcorn, ....entirely too much to do

I grew up on the gold coast, North State Parkway to be exact. Brownstones built in the late 1800s adorn the streets, you’ll recognize numerous movie locations and, if you’re lucky, get a peek at a real Chicago celebrity. It’s, by far, the finest neighborhood in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
