The best churches, temples, synagogues to see at Open House Chicago
"A National Historic Landmark, this South Loop church suffered a devastating fire in 1900, so the congregation hired architects Howard Van Doren Shaw and Frederic Clay Bartlett to rebuild the building in the then-popular Arts and Crafts style. Over the years, the church welcomed many famous Chicago families including the Pullmans, Blackstones, and Armours. Open Saturday, October, 19, from 10 a.m."

"The Michelin Bib Gourmand title is given to restaurants serving superior food at a moderate price, and Sushi Dokku was awarded this honor more than once. Sushi Dokku’s menu is big, from standard appetizers like agedashi tofu to ramen noodles, to variety of fresh sushi. One of the main attractions here is the chef’s special nigiri sushi."
