  • Shopping on Michigan Avenue (The Magnificent Mile)
    One of the top shopping spots in the country. Water Tower Place is a somewhat up-scale mall with most of what you want. Also along the Mag Mile is Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Sack's Fifth Avenue, etc. etc. etc. There's Nike Town, the Sony store, a huge Eddie Bauer, a huge Crate & Barrel, a huge FAO Schwartz, the list goes on and on and on. East from Michigan Avenue, at the north end (Chestnut, Oak Street, etc.), things get even ritzier. Now there's a DisneyQuest and an ESPN Zone just off Michigan toward the southern end.

  • I'm sure there are plenty of things to do in Chicago, but all I can recommend are the best places to shop. I know that's pretty sad but here it goes. First stop should be the 'Magnificent Mile.' Like the name says a mile of stores and shopping establishments. I recommend anything on Michigan Avenue, but I especially enjoyed Water Tower Place and Marshall Fields.

    Michigan Avenue: Chicago's Magnificient Mile
  • By TRAVELCHICK29 on May 30, 2004
  • Chicago Page by TRAVELCHICK29
  • Eight spectacular blocks of over 400 exclusive stores and boutiques and over 200 restaurants, North Michigan Avenue is truly a shopper's paradise! The Magnificient Mile is also a must see during the fall and winter months when the trees along the North Michigan avenue are illuminated for the holiday season.

  • It's not called the Magnificient Mile for nothing - the northern section of Michigan Avenue is Chicago's answer to New York's Fifth Avenue and Beverly Hill's Rodeo Drive. Strolling along the Mag Mile, you can indulge every shopping fantasy, so long as you have the money to pay for it. Everything from Cartier to Neiman Marcus to Armani to Burberry is here, surrounded by amazing scenery, five-star hotels, and some of the finest restaurants in Chicago. The Hancock Building and the Chicago Watertower (one of the few buildings remaining after the Great Chicago Fire) grace the Mag Mile, and the Chicago River runs alongside parts of it; gardens abound.

    It's especially nice at Christmas, when the Mag Mile is literally coated in white Christmas lights and becomes even more perfect.
