Rather than putting a ton of effort into an outing and then just hitting one spot, why not extend the adventure? This week, we’re pairing roller skating at Maggie Daley Park with greasy satisfaction at Shake Shack.
Main attraction: Maggie Daley Park Skating Ribbon
337 E. Randolph St. 312-552-3000
How much: Free-$12
Lace up and loop around Maggie Daley Park’s skating ribbon—which, in the summer months, abandons the ice and Christmas decor for those who want to skate year-round. Bring your own blades for free, or rent a scooter or a pair of roller blades for $8 and $12 per 30 minutes, respectively. Afraid of bumps and scratches? Your rental includes protective gear, but be sure to bring along your boo (or friend!) for maximum hand-holding security.
Don’t stop: Shake Shack
12 S. Michigan Ave. 312-646-6005
How much: $2.99-$9.69
After burnin’ up all those calories weaving and bobbing around the skating ribbon (hello, glutes!) you deserve a greasy, cheesy burger. Luckily, Shake Shack is right across the street inside of the Chicago Athletic Association. Grab a single Shack Burger for $5.39 or a Chick’n Shack for $6.49. Need something to cool you down, instead? Shake Shack has a separate line for icy treats so you don’t have to wait as long to get lickin’.
