It's official! After a week's worth of voting, we have Chicago's most romantic spot.
Drumroll please: The Lincoln Park Lagoon!
- The lagoon (which includes the South Pond and the zoo area) has long been the romantic jewel along DuSable Lake Shore Drive, with amazing views of the northern part of the skyline.
Methodology: We started with 16 romantic places and voters narrowed it down to the top spot.
- Our first round featured spots from the top of the Willis Tower (Sears) to the South Shore Cultural Center to lovely downtown Riverside, Illinois.
