Dinner at North Pond Cafe. Walk through Lincoln Park Zoo. Propose on bridge at south end of zoo. Great view of downtown.

The architectural tours by boat are really cool also. The new Trump Building is incredible. Again, if you want to propose during something like this, clue the person doing the tour so that they can give you ideas of when/where/how. Even if you propose elsewhere, tell the person and they will help make it special for you. People love being nice to people who just got engaged.
Have you ever thought about taking her to Cleveland instead? I hear people propose outside the "FREE" stamp all the time... much better than a bean

Sounds romantic, and after seeing their tourism videos I just might!

Ha. Quick trigger finger indeed. Only the sentence in my reply had loaded by the time I gave you the windmill reply! I have in-laws in Cleveland/Akron (Ohio State fans), so I am always quick on that trigger.

out of this world.Sit on the patio and you'll have a great night.

Don't have time to read most of the posts to date. If you still are looking for ideas. please pm me. Our SIL works in Chicago area near finance's company. They're getting married the weekend after July 4 in Iowa. I can ask him for possibilities if you want. Both live and work in Chicago area.
Honestly, for true romance, this really is the ticket. It will give that unforgettable experience. The only thing better would be a private dinner cruise. As said, tell them in advance what you are doing and you can't go wrong.
I second this. Though, I've already told you Cyber. If you even think that you will be nervous, the meal will not be as enjoyable for you. Don't waste good money on food you will barely taste or sorta eat before you ask her.

Don't know if I will be nervous or not but probably will be just because I think just about everyone is.
I can't give you more rep
I think you're right about that though. It's a pretty awesome trip you're planning!
This is a good point. You may want to do the actual proposal early in the trip in a more relaxed environment. Then, spend your money doing things to celebrate when you won't be as nervous, but be really ready to enjoy the celebration.
Way too touristy, go to Sprout, in Lincoln park.. Great restaurant.... If you got time to plan call a few months ahead and go to girl and the goat in the west loop or try topolobampo on lasalle. Rose Angeles in Lincoln park is great Italian, signature room is tourist central, last place I would go
You sound like you are really up on the hot spots. If that is what Cyber wants, then you sound like a great resource. However, I think he is a "tourist" who may like the classic stuff. Your ideas sound more like the places that someone from Chicago should consider. And even if The Signature Room is frequented by tourists, how many other great restaurants are 95 floors up with a great view in all four directions?
Maybe the Cuyahoga River will catch on fire the day you come by... how romantic and bada** would that be to propose to a huge fire in the background?
Oh most of my friends are OSU fans (good chunk actually go there), I can always say (if we continue our trend) that ISU went to more Bowl Games than OSU in the span of time that I went there lol. I'm in the Akron area as well.

Kind of like the 5'4" guys who have to drive the F-250 trucks or some other behemoth.... funny stuff
:twitcy:
much less touristy, but if you like Italian I would take a cab over to Picalo Sogno and request a table on the patio, which is amazing along with their food. Very secluded and feels more like Italy than Chicago. Signature Room or the Wit rooftop for drinks afterwards to cap off the night.
