Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, so I was thrilled when WGN invited me on their weekend morning broadcast to share off-the-beaten-path suggestions for Father’s Day. I had a blast assembling suggestions for places to take dad from my book, Secret Chicago, that are as unique as they are!
I previously appeared on WGN this spring, and it was fun to be back on set. I chatted with Sean Lewis about some lesser known Chicago spots for dads who are craftsmen, music lovers, tinkerers, waste haters, and fans of unusual sporting events. For more secret spots in Chicago, you can order the book online now!

Thanks to Sean and everyone at WGN for having me! Thanks to our dads for teaching us everything we know!
