Magnificent Mile - Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois Review Summary

Magnificent Mile, Michigan Av., is a stretch of urban area in downtown Chicago noted for its seemingly endless stores and restaurants. Reviewers love the Magnificent Mile for many reasons, but most important among them is the fact that the Magnificent Mile includes a wide variety of shops, from expensive to budget, along with many unique specialty stores like the Lego Store and Hershey Store. “The Magnificent Mile is a Window Shopper’s Paradise” that offers “Good Times, Great Prices”.
