If you have a sweet tooth (and I think that you do), I suggest reserving a spot on a chocolate tour in downtown Chicago. Chicago Chocolate Tours offers two and a half hour tours all over the city with chocolate tastings in each location and history tidbits along the way.

If you could only pick one, I’d suggest more cupcakes. Not only are the cupcakes delicious, but the boutique is like a work of art. But why pick one?
