The Robey is located in the heart of Wicker Park. Set in a historic older building, it has a very cool vibe with multiple bars and restaurants. It's very walkable for Friday night's dinner at Le Bouchon, but it is a little pricier even with the 15% discount (make sure the MARRYME code is applied).
Book The RobeyThe Hyatt Place Wicker Park is located on the edge of Wicker Park requiring just a 5ish minute walk to the neighborhood's center. It's newer and likely less stressful, lively for those looking for more economical in-and-out access. It would likely be a short uber or longer walk (15ish minutes) to Le Bouchon, but it is more cost-effective (make sure you book through the link for discounts up to 18%).

Visit the fateful bar where Callie and Frank met! One person stand in the hallway and flirtily stare at your partner sitting on the closest stool at the bar to recreate the scene! Then guess who was who.
Check out some sweet Jazz at the spot where Callie and Frank had their first date. Stop at Paul's Gees for a slice of pizza after to recreate their date. Bonus: go home, put on a record and make out to really get the idea!
Stop in Wormhole for Frank's favorite coffee in the whole city. Frank recommends the oat cortado and the drip coffee. Callie loves their London Fog. Be sure to get there early to avoid the "tourists". No offense to you, Frank just thinks they're always in the way.
Walk the 606 and enjoy a little urban nature. Stop at Dark Matter for a cup of coffee to recreate Callie and Frank's second date. Listen to John Coltrane's My Favorite Things to recreate the scene. These days Callie and Frank can often be seen walking Scout along the 606 and letting her roll in the grass at the park on the east entrance.
In the mood for Ramen? Check out this neighborhood fave for a warming bowl where Frank and Callie had an early date.
This all you can eat sushi restaurant was a staple the first year of Callie and Frank living together. They ate here almost every Friday night.
This food hall was the scene for Callie and Frank's third date when Callie still didn't know Chicago well and thought it was an art gallery. Frank played along and looked at the tiny local exhibition while other patrons grabbed snacks. Stop here for some grub while shopping in the West Loop!
This Chicago staple houses some of the greatest works of Impressionism. Frank really left an impression on Callie when he planned an outing here for one of their early dates. Bonus: You can walk from Wicker Park to the Art Institute to recreate their date, however, Callie recommends taking the blue line instead.
Another favorite date spot for Callie and Frank. Check out the featured exhibitions.
A classic Ukrainian Village hang. Check out this dive for good music and cheap drinks.
A must-do when visiting the Windy City. Be sure to take the cruise with the Chicago Architecture Center. https://www.architecture.org/city-tours/river-cruise.
