The Magnificent Mile

The Magnificent Mile, also known as Michigan Avenue, is New York's 5th Avenue equalivent in Chicago. There are lots of upper mid-tier and high-end stores located on this special avenue. We are here visiting in the fall, and the city has done a wonderful job with the Halloween decorations up and down this street!

Parking is crazy. Gps took us to the end of Magnificent Mile. I think. It was hard to know where to go since it was our first time. I'm sure we saw only a little of it. But the Harry Potter store is fun. The service is ok. The American Girl Doll store is cool. The Ralph Lauren store was beautiful. The Ralph Lauren hot chocolate was not good. It.was like so cocoa.in hot water with a little milk.
