"Architectural Artifacts is a crazy-cool place with lots of
salvaged building facade pieces, old signs, and
oddities that defy description. Bonus: it's in the
Ravenswood neighborhood, which has been dubbed
Malt Row because of all of the breweries and
distilleries popping up in the old warehouses along
Ravenswood Avenue. They're all worth visiting, but my
favorite is Band of Bohemia."

"In the Downtown area, The Graham Foundation has a
diverse range of exhibitions on architecture, design,
arts and culture. They also have a well-curated
bookstore designed by Ania Jawrska. Myopic
Bookstore is also worth a visit. It's one of Chicago's
oldest used bookstores-a labyrinth of fiction,
non-fiction, art, and design books."

Cheryl Durst
Executive Vice President and CEO, IIDA
"I recommend the Chicago Theatre Marquee Tour. From
the sweeping staircase in the lobby to the majestic
auditorium that has played host to the likes of Frank
Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Dolly Parton, you'll soak up
plenty of history behind the Chicago Theatre. In
addition to learning about the entertainment venue's
illustrious story, this intimate tour offers a true
behind-the-scenes experience. Not only will you have
the chance to see signatures from your favorite artists
on the dressing room walls, but you'll even get to stand
on the famous Chicago Theatre stage."

"Robin Richman is Wicker Park's style icon. I drool at her
creative team and what they curate. Ikram is a
boutique, gallery, and cafe located in what was
deemed cathedral district. Ikram has helped shape
'fashionistas' who trust her implicitly. Up in
Andersonville, you'll find Scout, purveyor of the
eclectic. The absolute best deals. Check out Larry
Vodak's interior projects too. And lastly, there's the
men's lifestyle store Cowboys and Astronauts."

Principal Healthcare Architecture, Stantec
"I take design industry professionals first to the
Chicago Architecture Foundation then to lunch at the
Cliff Dwellers Club-where Louis Sullivan spent his last
days-to see 'the view.' Then I follow up with a nice
dinner at the Wigwam Room at The Union League of
Chicago, which has the second largest art collection in
Chicago (after the Chicago Art Institute), so we can
wander after dinner to see fantastic artistic work
outside of a museum setting."
