Evening Entertainment in Chicago

The Chicago Riverwalk is a 1.25 mile long path along the Chicago River that stretches from Lake Street to the lake front while providing a vertical connection from Upper Wacker Drive down to the waterway. The stairway entrance is right across the street from the Swissotel. The Riverwalk provides a nearby spot to grab a drink or a quick bite to eat while taking in the solitude of the waterway. If you are an early riser, this is the perfect spot for an early morning jog.
