Magnificent Mile
Magnificent Mile
Nicknamed the "Magnificent Mile" is and understatement, it refers to a mile long stretch of North Michigan Avenue lying between Oak Street And the Chicago River. A must see for all the shop-aholics out there.
First rate shopping can be found there, and would be difficult to find anywhere else. Shoppers from everywhere far and wide agree and thrilled with the wide variety of shops one can find here.
Street performers entertain to all who stop and see, this is the city's liveliest area. Sidewalks packed to capacity on weekends and summer days and nights. Michigan Avenue boasts several indoor, high-rise malls, with boutiques, and restaurants.
Stores carrying designer named items begin at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Oak Street. Then there is the Drake Hotel home to the famous Danish silversmith, well known for his watches, earrings, brooches and tie clips.
Don't forget to pay a visit to the Louis Vuitton where all the trendy gold and brown luggage and handbags can be found. And do stop in at the famous Italian jeweler Bulgari. Famous for his bracelets, rings and silver items.
Of course Giorgio Armani's boutique is a must see. If you go around the corner you will see the first American store of Canadian knitwear manufacture Marlowe. The common pullover sweater does not exist here. Oh no, it has all the appearances of a modern art gallery, and the prices are extravagant to say the least.
The world's largest Polo Ralph Lauren store can be found here as well.
If the least expensive thing in the store is $70.00 for a sterling silver key chain doesn't scare you off then by all means stop by Tiffany and Co., the tabletop accessories, and their signature clocks are on display. A few doors down you will find Neiman Marcus, need I say more?
