Magnificent Mile

Magnificent Mile is the part of Michigan Avenue, and is just north of Chicago River. If you travel further down North Michigan Avenue, you will arrive to the The Drake Hotel and the Oak Street Beach area.

Magnificent Mile contains a cluster of classy stores and restaurants, retailers and hotels and caters to the rich and travelers. You can find all that is expensive here. You can find French, European and American high-end brands at this shopping giant. Price wise, the Magnificent Mile competes with Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California.

On the contrary, if you like quirky stores and charming boutiques head to Oak Street located nearby, also famous for shopping and is home to many small boutiques.

For burgers par excellence you can go over to Boston Blackie's (312-938-8700). Order your toppings for the half pound monstrous eat and wash it down with beer from frosted mugs. In Chicago, nobody makes veal chops better than The Capital Grille (312-337-9400) and the experience of dining in the elegant setting makes for a unique experience. For upscale Italian dining with great views of the Lake Michigan, try Spiaggia (312-280-2750), where the ingredients are fresh and the service impeccable.

Around the corner from Magnificent Mile, American Girl Place (312-943-9400) pays tribute to young girls. This three story building features a playhouse, a café and a shop with American girl dolls and dresses. If you traveling with a young girl, seven or older, she might enjoy stopping by.

There are many places near the Mile that will interest you such as the McCormick Tribune Museum, located along the Mile near the Chicago River. You can find sightseeing boats on the south side of the River, where the Mile converts into Michigan Avenue. The Shops at 900 (Michigan and Delaware) and John Hancock Center (Michigan and Chestnut) are also located along the Mile.

Omni Chicago Hotel, Park Hyatt Chicago and The Whitehall Hotel compete to provide unrivaled service and amenities to the local visitors.
