Normally I do a lot of shopping online, but this time I didn\u2019t have the luxury of waiting for the charger to arrive in the mail. I was in the middle of using what little juice my battery had left to navigate my way to the Apple Store as I happened to walk past the Blackhawks Store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the Hell,\u201d I thought, and I decided to let my phone die then and there as I ventured in.<\/p>\n<p>Two hats, a poster, and a Kane jersey later\u2014my questionable navigation skills had me heading north with my head on a swivel. It wasn\u2019t long until I found myself in awe of all the stores in the area, and I ended up buying way more stuff than I\u2019ll ever need. I\u2019d list it all out for you, but I don&#8217;t feel like embarrassing myself more than usual today.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on, we\u2019ve all read and heard about the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/magnificent-mile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magnificent Mile<\/a> before, but I\u2019ll be the first to tell you that it\u2019s something you need to experience firsthand. I\u2019ve given up my online shopping in favor of the Mile because I honestly just feel spoiled now.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why the Magnificent Mile will spoil you for life:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) You Can Find EVERYTHING<br \/>\n<\/strong>Seriously though, you\u2019d need to set a whole week aside to sift through it all. Apparel, department stores, food, gifts, jewelry, pet stores, sports, art, electronics, grocery stores, luxury items, shoes, toys, home furnishings, shopping centers, and cosmetics.<\/p>\n<p>Bet you can\u2019t even read that sentence out loud without taking a breath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) It\u2019s Good for You<br \/>\n<\/strong>Well\u2026 Kind of. We wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/why-shopping-in-chicago-is-good-for-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a whole post<\/a> on this point before, but I\u2019ll break it down for you again (since I\u2019m such a nice guy and all). We all know money can\u2019t buy happiness in the long term, but have you ever tried to frown after buying a new TV? Well me neither, but let\u2019s just say you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> Record yourself buying a TV, frowning, and saying the previously mentioned sentence without taking a breath at the same time, and we\u2019ll mention your name in an article or something.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the matter at hand, someone has to carry all of those heavy bags right? Lugging those things over the course of a mile is tiresome work. Because of this, you\u2019ll need to refuel, and what better way to do that than with some of the healthier food options along the Mile?<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Food<br \/>\n<\/strong>If there\u2019s anything I love more than buying things for myself, it\u2019s food. There are probably just as many restaurants in the area as there are stores, so the Mag Mile is a kind of paradise when it comes to these two categories. There are some smaller restaurants and chains sprinkled about, but there are massive novelty restaurants here as well. Some of the more popular options are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harrycarays.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Caray\u2019s<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjshchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Jordan\u2019s Steak House<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signatureroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Signature Room at the 95<sup>th<\/sup><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parkgrillchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Park Grill<\/a> (my personal favorite), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ditkasrestaurants.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ditka\u2019s<\/a>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know shopping can make you a bit parched as well, so you\u2019ll be happy to know that there are more bars than I can count here too. (And I can count pretty high).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Attractions<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Attractions<\/em> is a very broad category, so allow me to simplify it for you. Some of the most well-known destinations in Chicago are located around the Mag Mile. We\u2019re talking <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/john-hancock-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">360 Chicago<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/navy-pier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navy Pier<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/lincoln-park-zoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lincoln Park Zoo<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/art-institute-of-chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Art Institute<\/a>. Even the lesser known attractions like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redheadpianobar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Redhead Piano Bar<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secondcity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Second City<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houseofblues.com\/chicago\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">House of Blues<\/a> are worthy enough of a visit to the area. Once you get used to having all of this around, you won\u2019t want to go anywhere else. And since you won\u2019t want to leave\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Hotels<br \/>\n<\/strong>This is one that you can probably disregard if you live in the area, but for those who are looking to make a day and night out of their trip to the Mile, this is probably music to your ears. There are 67 hotels to choose from, and this includes the cream of Chicago\u2019s destination hotel crop. (Personally, I think you should get a petition to my editor going that allows me to visit all 67 of these hotels, but that\u2019s your business). It\u2019s cool enough that you can stay overnight along the Mile, and it\u2019s even cooler that your stay can include one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/the-finest-hotels-near-the-mag-mile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best-rated hotels<\/a> in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I almost forgot. During my visit, I got so caught up in everything the Mile had to offer that I completely forgot to buy my phone charger. Looks like I\u2019ll be heading back that way soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I was in the market for a new iPhone charger.
