• A little further north along the lakefront, The Waterfront Cafe offers a secluded outdoor dining experience for anyone looking to avoid the chaos of Oak Street Beach and North Ave Beach. It's also probably good to mention it's an old coach house attached to a classic Chicago Lakefront mansion, one of the few left in the city, might I add. Your typical outdoor cafe fare and entertainment, take in the view and architecture of the buildings more than anything while you kick back and take a breather.
