I love the guests that express an interest in exploring more than Michigan Avenue. For example, when in Lincoln Park, visit CBA (Chicago Bagel Authority) for the BEST bagel; same with Sweet Mandy B's for a picture perfect cupcake or frosted molasses cookie; Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder for pizza pot pie, and the Mediterranean bread.

Grab a bike from Bobby's Bike Hike and ride to Uptown for breakfast at Broadway Grill. Then jet back downtown to the Chicago History Museum. Afterward, hit Cityscape Bar at my hotel for drinks and spectacular views of the city. And dinner at Kinzie Chophouse is a must. End the day with a blues set at Blue Chicago. Perfect.

Here's the schedule when one of the nation's top sweet-themed toques leaves the kitchen and hits the town. Gale Gand has put Chicago on the map with her Food Network show, 'Sweet Dreams,' and you never  know what this pastry chef extraordinaire is going to come up with.
