THE QUESTION: What is something you’re definitely planning to do this summer in the city?

“I’ve always wanted to go kayaking on the Chicago River, so I guess I’m going to try that. And I’d like to hit up a few more of Chicago’s traditional beer gardens.”

— ANNETTE KEPPELER | WISHBONE RESTAURANT

_________________________________________________________________

“I want to see more of the water, period. Going to Navy Pier, maybe a boat cruise. Dining alfresco too. Nice warm breeze, good food, drink in hand … I’d be in heaven.”

— DAVID HUNTER | WISHBONE RESTAURANT

_________________________________________________________________

“Just getting out on the lakefront more, either biking or blading. And Lollapalooza, when it kicks in, is always fun. It’s a great lineup of bands, and we have a lot of fun as a sponsor hotel.”

— BILL MARCELLA | CHEF CONCIERGE AT THE JAMES HOTEL

_________________________________________________________________

“I really want to hit more of the city’s rooftop bars and lounges and outdoor patio dining. And museums, especially the MCA’s events.”

“Probably go to more festivals. There are always cool artists, street vendors, great food and beer. It’s just nice to be outside because the weather is awesome.”

— AMANDA WOODS | THE JAMES HOTEL

_________________________________________________________________

“Summerdance in Grant Park June 17-Aug. 29. Every Thursday-Sunday in the evening they offer free dance lessons with a live band. It’s pretty great to learn a new dance every week.”

— KATHRYN DOI

_________________________________________________________________

“Volleyball on North Avenue Beach always works for me. And the Segways are a good time and great way to see the city.”

— DEMETRIUS KIDD | SHERATON CONCIERGE

_________________________________________________________________

“I’m going to go to as many street festivals as possible and ride the entire North Branch bike trail. And hopefully catch a concert at Northerly Island.”

— MATT MOHRLANG
