Here are some of our favorite places and things to do in Evanston.
This is the main entrance to Northwestern’s campus and a cool spot to check out. It’s a great place to stroll around and grab some pretty pictures of campus and Lake Michigan. Located 1/4 mile from the hotel.
Dan's favorite coffee shop! One block from the hotel.
One of our favorite lunch spots, especially after a Northwestern football game. It's a sports bar with good food. About a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
A quaint French pastry and sandwich shop. Dan loves the ham and cheese! It's a 1/4 mile walk from the hotel.
A casual, fun restaurant in an old Firehouse. About a 1.5 mile walk from the hotel.
Located across the street from the Hotel Orrington.
A local independent bookstore, about 2 blocks from the hotel.
For the rock and fossil lovers! A truly unique store, with a small museum of fossils. Just over a mile from the hotel.
The hotel is right in downtown Evanston, and there are tons of shops and local stores just a few blocks away, all within walking distance.
There is also great shopping found in North Evanston, on Central Street. This is about 1.7 miles away.
