Magnificent Mile & Streeterville

Apple, Nike, Cole Haan, Uniqlo, Burberry, Neiman Marcus, and Tiffany & Co. all call the famous shopping stretch home. On the north end of the strip is Water Tower Place and the 900 North Michigan Shops, with stores like Gucci, Max Mara, J. Crew, Sur La Table and Bloomingdale's among the anchors. You'll find The Shops at North Bridge on the southern section which includes a four-story Nordstrom with a shoe department that occupies the entire first floor. Hello, Manolo! Among the 450 retailers on the Mag Mile are sports stores; boutiques for pets and children; Fine Art galleries; designer and luxury shops; jewelry shops; gourmet food stores; home goods and florists; cosmetics' hubs; all kinds of dining; and the ginormous Starbucks Roastery to help fuel you through this daunting shopping experience. And the Museum of Ice Cream just opened in Tribune Tower.
