“ You definitely need to stop by Cloud Gate (or as the locals call it, The Bean!). It’s an iconic landmark in Chicago and won’t disappoint!”

– Melanie Endicott, Vice President, HIM Practice Excellence

“ I love going to Punch Bowl Social in West Loop. It’s a ton of fun with a group of people because it has lots of board games, giant scrabble, virtual reality and bowling.”

–Alana Anderson, Business Analyst “ The rooftop patio at Whiskey Business in Wicker Park won’t disappoint. They have happy hour specials daily and they even do rooftop yoga in the summer! You’ll have a great time!”

–Meghan McLaughlin, Marketing Manager

“ The women’s bathroom at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of Hancock Tower has one of the most iconic views of the Chicago city-scapes! Sorry, guys. No men allowed!!”

–Emily Bucarich, Manager, Digital Products

“ If you’re bringing your family along, I’d recommend Safehouse in the River North neighborhood. It’s an interactive spy-themed restaurant that kids will love!”

–Monica Reyes, Meeting Content Planner

“ If you’re looking for something to do after hours, I recommend Kingston Mines on North Halsted. It’s an iconic Chicago bar serving up live blues music every night since the 60’s. Anyone who’s anyone has played at this place.”

– Tom Murray, Senior Director, Marketing
