Stay in the Chi for Labor Day!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You don’t necessarily have to leave the city to have a fantastic Labor Day weekend. Fulton Grace<\/a><\/span> has a few ideas for you to be a tourist in your own fabulous city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grab dinner on a rooftop.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make a reservation for Aba<\/a><\/span>, etta<\/a><\/span>, or Celeste<\/a><\/span> for a chill rooftop dinner and drinks. You will definitely enjoy your night out!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Celeste – River North<\/p><\/div>\n

Head to the beach.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We don’t mean Oak Street. Set up camp at 63rd Street Beach<\/span><\/a> for incredible, sweeping views, or put down your towel at Montrose Beach<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Montrose Beach<\/p><\/div>\n

Check out the zoo.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When was the last time you really explored Lincoln Park Zoo<\/span><\/a>? LP Zoo is always full of people, but a relaxing stroll with the animals can’t hurt.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indulge in some ice cream.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We sincerely suggest Scooter’s Custard<\/a><\/span>, Pretty Cool Ice Cream<\/a><\/span>, Gordo’s<\/a><\/span>, or the ever-so-famous Original Rainbow Cone<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do something extra-touristy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Walk on The Ledge at Skydeck<\/a><\/span>, take a Big Bus Tour<\/a><\/span>, or go on that Chicago Architectural Cruise<\/a><\/span> you always SWEAR you’ll do one day.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Willis Tower – The Loop<\/p><\/div>\n

Go on a self-guided bookstore tour.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Start with Hyde Park<\/a><\/span>‘s maze-like 57th Street Books<\/a><\/span>, and end with Rogers Park<\/a><\/span>‘s Armadillo’s Pillow<\/a><\/span> for quirky used books and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grab an insta-worthy latte.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Head over to Werewolf Coffee<\/a><\/span> or Goddess and the Baker<\/a><\/span> for sparkly lattes and the perfect ambiance.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do a brewery tour.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Goose Island<\/a><\/span> and Half Acre<\/a><\/span> have some pretty incredible brewery tours for a behind-the-scene look on the beer-making process.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take a coffee tour.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We don’t mean Starbucks. We mean many of Chicago’s locally owned and operated coffee shops, where your morning brew is handled with extra care.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out the museums.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Though the bigger museums guaranteed to be packed, we suggest the American Writers Museum<\/a><\/span> or Chicago History Museum<\/a><\/span> for an extra dose of history.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
