Setting aside a warm, sunny day to stroll down Oak Street is a great way to combine the lively energy of the outdoors with an enjoyable shopping experience. Labeled as one of Chicago's most prestigious shopping districts, Oak Street distances itself from the familiar chain stores and pays tribute to the local boutiques and specialty stores that Chicago has to offer. High-end salons and luxury shops help to maintain Oak Street's reputation of prominence and elegance. Because of the shopping destination's close proximity to both Michigan Avenue and Rush Street, you are also within walking distance of some of the best restaurants in Chicago.
