A sober weekend in Chicago
A weekend in Chicago with no bar crawl in it. Not a version with the drinking removed — a plan built as though it was never the point.
- 2 nights
- Couple
- Balanced pace
- Mid-range budget
- No alcohol
Every place here was checked on 2026-10-27 or later, and each one says where it came from.
