Wrigley Field
1060 W Addison St
As the second-oldest baseball stadium in the country, Wrigley Field has a long and rich history that is intertwined with Chicago’s. After several years of major renovations, which are slated to end this year, the field now features a new exterior facade, brighter, more wheelchair-friendly concourses, and a digitized score board. Wrigley Field offers guided outdoor walking tours on both game days and non-game days, which go in-depth into the ballpark’s legendary history.
Do-Rite Donuts

Right across the street from Wrigley Field, Do-Rite offers tasty, fresh donuts that are the perfect sugary snack before or after a game. The shop offers a range of donut flavors, from old-fashioned buttermilk to pistachio-meyer lemon. For those that avoid gluten or are vegan, the shop offers three different gluten-free and three vegan donut options each day. For those who are a little less health-conscious, order a fried chicken sandwich on a donut bun.
