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 include BellaNiecele, Chinelas, a Chicago-based footwear line and the eight innovative kitchens at Latinicity. The food court at Seven on State in Macy's is a who's who of celebrated chefs like Rick Bayless, Takashi Yagihashi and Marcus Samuelsson. Sports fans should head for the two-level New Era Chicago flagship and a House of Hoops by FootLocker.
