where you stand 1030 feet from street view is breathtaking you can enjoy a nice cocktail at

visit the city's ramen paradise who doesn't love ramen noodles they are easy to make and delicious
and they're pretty versatile too and you never get bored of them if you are a ramen lover like me you
have to go to ken key restaurant why should you go there in the first place ken key is like two
restaurants in one with design and neon highlights inspired by the streets and marketplaces
of 1950s hong kong choose from the all-day menu including crab rangoon assorted congee
and beef brisket casserole or the noodle cart menu you can make your noodle bowl just how
you like it select the broth noodles and all of the scrumptious toppings from a variety of
choices you can either go for american chinese dishes or go for classic hong kong dishes or
how about both number seven roam around chinatown if you are looking to have some chinese themed
instagram snaps or if you have this crazy craving for some chinese food especially kung pao chicken
friends and fans can relate to this you can always come over to chinatown plus in summer
months like may june july and august chinatown goes into festive mode there are all sorts of
festivals going on and people enjoy themselves many restaurants and food stalls are serving
fantastic food and they serve a large variety of food items apart from chinese food there are
also multiple art and literature fairs going on in chinatown during the summer at the end of july the
biggest chinatown festival the chinatown summer fair takes place the chinatown summer fair will
now be a two-day event towards the end of july you can come and see the traditional lion dance parade
performances kung fu displays pony rides and have amazing food from chinatown restaurants
number six watch exotic animals in a zoo for free going to a zoo can be a fun experience whether you
are an animal lover or not now typically zoos around the world require you to pay an entrance
fee however linkin park zoo is free for visitors as a matter of fact lincoln park zoo is one of the
last few zoos that do not require an entrance fee all you need to do is claim free entry to
the lincoln park zoo and that's all you have to do make a reservation before you visit from
mammals including lions giraffes and elephants to birds including exotic parrots and peacocks
to reptiles including massive crocodiles and some of the rarest and deadliest snakes in the world
you can find a wide variety of animals in this enormous zoo there's something for every animal
lover over here don't miss the regenstein macaque forest where snow monkeys swing from one branch
to another not bad for a zoo that is free for visitors number five cruise around in an e-bike
if you are a die-hard bicycle rider you should go to amsterdam but if you want to
try out e-bikes chicago can give you that unique and technologically advanced experience you can
ride around the town on a divi e-bike that runs on electricity and can go as fast as 15 miles per
hour thanks to a small electric motor installed in the bike every time you move your legs the
pedal assist technology adds a little extra power allowing you to arrive to your destination faster
and in a very smooth way also you do not have to put in as much effort as you have to put in
traditional bikes this is a nice technology to try out and soon as the electric vehicle
culture is taking over rapidly maybe e-bikes will become a common thing in the foreseeable future
number four visit the beer temple how much do you like your beer do you like your beer so much
that you would worship it well if you are a beer worshiper and a beer purist you should head to
the beer temple this avondale bar and bottle shop has a reputation for offering the best beers from
local and out-of-state brewers so there's usually something fresh or unexpected on tap stop in with
a mask to explore the shelves and walk in cooler or order a beer of your choice here you will find
some beers that you might not know about but they will taste amazing as beer temple only selects
the best beers out there if you are planning to get drunk drink the best beers in the u.s
number three get lost in the museum of illusions if you want to get trippy without being drunk we
recommend you visit the museum of illusions this museum is filled with mind twisting photo ops
that will confuse you fool you but there is one thing for certain you'll have a great time here
you can also take some unique snaps from your instagram and facebook feeds the staff is present
here to explain to you the concept behind all the illusions and mind-bending displays don't
miss the museum's infinity room which surrounds visitors with mirrors and shimmering lights
and yes please be an alert do not bump into any of those mirrors you could injure yourself
which will be very odd and funny as a way to get injured anyways moving on number two paddle along
the chicago river you don't have to travel to an out-of-station location for river paddling you
can do that right here in chicago from a dock just north of goose island kayak chicago takes
you paddling around the chicago river you'll be able to go on a self-guided river trip in a kayak
after a few short lessons you have the option of hiring your boat by the hour or paying a flat cost
to use it for the entire day several guided tours that highlight chicago architecture or just allow
you to cruise the river at night are available in my opinion it's a fun way to tour the city oh by
the way it is my responsibility to warn you about sunburns and hot summers so you should always
carry sunscreen with you during such outdoor activities number one explore a world war ii
submarine at the museum of science and industry for those who are interested in museums and want
to learn more about the great world war ii you should head to the museum of science and industry
why should you go there well because there are many things that you can learn about the
history of the war the usa's contribution to the world and what kind of advanced weaponry
was used in the war back in the day most importantly you can witness the massive 700
german submarine that was used in the war as it was transferred to the museum back in 1954.
the u-505 is one of just four german u-boats that have survived and it is housed in a massive
35 000 square foot enclosure the small items retrieved from the ship such as a code
breaking enigma machine cigarettes and german phonograph records are just as amazing as the
massive submarine there are also many vintage vehicles on display and also a boeing 727 and a
steam locomotive you can also find a traveling exhibition dedicated to marvel super heroes
