Bobby’s Bike Hike’s Holiday Hike

When we think of the winter holidays, two things come to mind: festive decorations and an excess of food. You can’t celebrate the holidays with one and not the other, which is why our “Holiday Hike: Season Sampling Walking & Food Tour” has both. Let Bobby’s Bike Hike show you how downtown Chicago gets gussied up even more than usual, from the window displays at Macy’s (a 70+ year tradition), to the German open-air Christkindlmarket, to the official 106th City of Chicago Christmas Tree. As your eyes feast on all the decorations, you’ll be feasting on some Chicago holiday classics. We’ll start with deep dish pizza from Giordano’s and then sip on seasonal hot cider that’ll be served with double stuffed German bratwurst at the Christkindlmarket. For dessert, we’ll walk to the Palmer House, the birthplace of the first brownie. They’ve been using the original recipe for over 100 years.
