Summer in Chicago is truly an amazing and magical thing that occurs in our favorite city.  Not only do you get the hot weather but also the fests, the concerts and the PPM pool parties!  Yet you also get something very special that not many cities have, the Beach scene on the edge of the entire city.  The beaches on Lake Michigan are one of our favorite things to go to during the summer.

From the cool water to the fun volleyball scene, you be hard pressed not to find something you love down at one of the many Chicago beaches.  Since many, including Oak Street Beach, is in the heart of the city and steps from FIVE PPM buildings, you can take a mini vacation for the afternoon or just for lunch.  Which is why we had to try Oak Street Beach Food and Drink, and what a great decision we made, not to mention the staff here is great.  So let’s take a look at what you can expect.
