(Shopping - Shopping Districts)
N Michigan Ave, Chicago  60611

        Description: MAGNIFICENT MILE. Some of Chicago's best shopping and dining can be found on the Magnificent Mile. Running down Michigan Avenue and bounded by Oak Street to the north and the Chicago River to the south, the area offers the best of things expensive: Consider it the Rodeo Drive of the Midwest. If you seek a trendier, more eclectic setting, go two blocks east to Streeterville, a more hip division of the neighborhood.

N Wells St and Division St, Chicago  • 312-951-6106
Distance: ~1.43 mi *

The neighborhood, located between North Avenue and Division Street on North Wells Street, was once a hippie paradise. Now it's home to some of Chicago's best nightlife spots. The demolition of Cabrini Green, a notorious government housing project, has helped make way for cottages and row houses in the now-upscale neighborhood. The area also offers an array of shops, bars, and restaurants.

(Shopping - Shopping Districts)
307 Old McHenry Rd Visitor Information Center, Long Grove  60047 • 847-634-9440
Distance: ~27.59 mi *

Cobblestone streets lead to charming rows of houses-turned-boutiques that cause you to forget about the ubiquitous places created by corporate America. Delicious eateries adorned with antiques offer everything from fine dining to specialty chocolates to artisan oils. Have a drink in an English-inspired pub to rest your feet after a day of shopping. The Christmas season in Long Grove is particularly delightful and features Old World-style carolers.
