Some side-note for tourists visiting from far afield: I was instructed that Chicago's obsession with deep-dish pizza is a myth. Ubers run rampant – always a minute away, so be at the ready. And finally, a special shout-out to the Weather Mark Tavern on Michigan Avenue just due west of Burnham Harbor (20 minute walk). It's one of the only sailor bars (excluding yacht clubs) that I found in Chicago, and happens to be owned by our friend Mark from Island Party Hut.
