Like many urban downtown areas, State Street had it's sad, downtrodden days but the Great Street is back teeming street musicians, college students and their favorite shops like American Apparel, Puma, Sephora, Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. Macy's, ensconced in our beloved Marshall Field's building and the second largest department store in the world, is a testament to the rich history of American department stores, and don't miss Block 37 with its eclectic mix of retail and dining in a five-story shopping mall. Notable shops in Block 37 include Anthropologie, L'Occitane en Provence, Sephora and fun spots to nosh like Gayle V's Best Ever Grilled Cheese. The food court at Seven on State in Macy's offers Chicago favorites, tacos and even the famous chicken pot pie from the Walnut Room. Basketball fans should head for the House of Hoops by FootLocker.
