We made it back. Maple and Ash was amazing!!! I would make a trip back just for their au gratin potatoes.
The architectural cruise was also very interesting. We didn’t make it to the Field Museum but did spend some time walking around Buckingham Fountain and Navy Pier… touristy but still fun.
Also got dinner at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder. I went there with my sister when I was still in high school. I forgot how tiny it is but the pizza pot pie is still wonderful. They don’t take reservations or credit cards… fortunately we only had a 45 minute wait and I had cash.
