Timeline
15:44
Grab a late lunch. Greek Islands is open until midnight and offers a hearty meal to fuel your walk. The restaurant is just a short walk from the anchor.
15:59
Visit the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum. The museum is open until 16:50 on weekdays, giving you plenty of time to explore the exhibits on social justice before the sun begins to set. The free soup lunch is available during the day if you prefer a lighter bite.
16:44
Watch the sunset at Millennium Park. The sun sets toward the WSW, and the park offers an open view of the skyline. It is a 38-minute walk from the anchor, so you may want to take the UIC-Halsted Blue Line to get there if you are not up for a long stroll, though the context does not specify a direct route from the museum. The golden light starts at 16:01, so you will have about an hour of warm light before the sun dips below the horizon.
17:14
End the evening with a drink at Spectrum Bar & Grill. This bar is open until 4 AM on weekdays and is located just an 11-minute walk from the landmark. It is a good spot to reflect on the day’s history and enjoy the local Greektown atmosphere.
Local tip
The walk from the Hull-House Museum to Millennium Park is quite long (38 minutes). Consider taking the Blue Line from the UIC-Halsted station to the Monroe station for a quicker route to the park.
