This eight-story mall is occupied mostly by big chain stores such as Saks Fifth Ave and Talbots. Smaller stores that fill the gaps between the large retailers feel a little bit thrown-together, though Love From Chicago is one of the best places to get gifts and souvenirs, including the elusive Al Capone shot glass. Chicago Place Mall also boasts one of the most dramatic food courts in the city – the plant- and fountain-filled area has wonderful views.
