Promontory Point on Chicago's South Side has been known in recent years as the site of Barack and Michelle Obama's first kiss. But it's much more than that. Its view of Lake Michigan and Chicago's skyline may not be as scenic as the view from North Avenue Beach but it is an attractive piece of landscape. Located at 55th Street in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, Promontory Point or The Point is a man-made peninsula jutting into Lake Michigan that was opened to the public in 1937. It was constructed from landfill and by the late 1930s was protected by a seawall or revetment that consists of limestone blocks arranged in a series of four steps leading to a promenade. The 12-acre peninsula, which contains a fieldhouse and was a popular destination for swimmers, sunbathers and windsurfers in the pre-pandemic period, can be accessed by the Lakefront Trail and a tunnel which passes under South Lake Shore Drive at the east end of 55th street, in the shadow of the Museum of Science and Industry. With its view of Navy Pier and Chicago's skyline and Lake Michigan, and the presence of stone sitting rings or fire pits that date to 1938, Promontory Point is a popular wedding and corporate event location and an area for family picnics. And first kisses.

Venerable home field of the Chicago Bears football team.

Located on the east side of the stadium and levels 200 and 300, the United Club is the perfect spot to watch a Bears game. The seats are as close to the field as you'll see in any NFL stadium and the amenities are fabulous. The United Club spans three levels in behind the stands and is enclosed offering a perfect spot to warm up on a cold game day. There's a huge buffet on the first level ($50/person and reservations not necessary - we walked in an hour before kick off) and plenty of interesting food and beverage outlets. Getting in and out is easy.
