Fox & Obel

Description:

• The city's top gourmet market is a foodie paradise: from the wide selection of specialty cheeses to the mouth-watering display of desserts. Browsing the shelves is like taking a minitour through the best specialty foods from around the world (and I dare you to walk through the bakery section without buying a loaf of freshly baked bread). An easy walk to Navy Pier and the lakefront, it's a great place to pick up a picnic lunch or a bottle of wine and some chocolates to enjoy late-night in your hotel room. There's also an in-store cafe if you want to take a break while strolling around the Michigan Avenue area.
