"The word "mall" is quite misleading"
"The Second City Comedy Club is here"
"It's a mall! You go there and Shop"
"Met 5 members of my arts and culture group at this very spacious Starbucks"
"An extraordinary retail plaza which I revered a ton"
The word "mall" is quite misleading. One Google user went far enough to say that they were looking for cheap souvenir t-shirts here (that they never found) and was maybe a good "mall" for the "locals"...no, just NO!! Ahahaha! Anyone who has eyes and isn't blind can clearly see that this place is Second City (and their other companies/theaters/studios/classrooms). There just happens to be a few places to grab a drink, bite, and a gym attached to it. Even the bar/restaurant inside (1959) is a part of Second City. The description to this location on Google is misleading and needs updating, too. There's a box office once you walk in, but that's not for a cinema; it's for the many shows you can treat yourself with seeing here! The fact that this location houses Second City warrants five stars in itself.
The Second City Comedy Club is here. They also have a Chipotle and a Starbucks, among other stores. It's also within walking distance of the Purple Line express / Brown line stop at Sedgwick (2 blocks) and the Red Line at Clark / Division (5 blocks) and North / Clybourn (6 blocks). It's close to the loop (1 1/2 miles south on Wells), so I have plenty of choices when it comes to eating before a class or show at Second City. I recommend taking public transportation unless you live within walking distance because like most places in the city, parking is not cheap or easy to find. They do have a parking garage and there is street parking along North Avenue and Wells Street.
It's a mall! You go there and Shop. Bonus movie recommendation: Synecdoche, NY-- Super trippy and really really deep. Lots of symbolism. A thinking person's film. Beautifully filmed, perfectly acted, and ingeniously written! You will laugh, you will cry, you will say what the hell did I just watch, but you will love it. I believe the films message to be, "We are all unhappy in the same way, so don't let life pass you by dwelling on it."
Met 5 members of my arts and culture group at this very spacious Starbucks. Our order of a Dragon Drink (super delicious), a pistachio latte, a vanilla latte, and a dark roast was promptly delivered and happy consumed. Special mention: the macrame window treatments! The downside. Only one restroom was available. Caffeinated beverages + long wait times = slightly less happy campers.
An extraordinary retail plaza which I revered a ton. From a major and wide passageway to the apparel store and a major food court. Everything simply great and efficient. Each floor has client support, which you can request headings with the goal that you can't get lost. The solace room was available also that you could discover it without any problem.
The only thing worth seeing here is Second City; they tore down the historic Piper's Alley years ago and replaced it with a suburban-style shopping mall and parking garage. It's ugly, boring and undistinguished. Chicago has a real problem with historic preservation; they would tear down Versailles to build a shopping mall.
I wouldn't necessarily call this a "mall" per se, but it has a gym, a GNC, a sports store so it's a good go-to for the athlete in you. Second City and Chipotle is also here. Parking lot is available and validates for free at X-Sport if you're a member (you can probably sneak it in even if you're not).
Convenience is the top draw of this parking garage but the owners seem to not really care about the experience of their patrons. The stairwells are filthy and often reek of urine. The elevators are slow. Place needs a good scrubbing down. Second City, Starbucks and Chipotle are still top notch.
Tourists beware - this isn't a 'real' mall. It's just a buncha regular streets with shops and eateries. There is no actual mall, and we found out the hard way. We went inside the theater nearby and realized we'd been bamboozled. Still, it was a nice area to explore.
Second city is an awesome addition to this area! It can be confusing to tell the different venues apart. But thankfully anytime around when a show is going on, there are plenty of people around to direct you where you need to go.
Mall? A covered alley with lots of history now homogenized into a clean indoor hallway with access to Starbucks, theater space, several restaurants & the. Second City comedy above accessed by the escalator /elevator at far end.
I've been here a few times specially to go see movies. It's always good to come here because I like what they do down here. All the Second City activity in the movie theater and everything. Close to public transportation.
I love going to Chipotle so there's a Chipotle location here that is easy for you to pick up your online orders by using the app a great place just to go to if you want to get Starbucks or even see a movie
Went to see 2nd City improv show of guest performers in team config. Layout of facility was so easy to understand; food and parking on sight was definite bonus. Love this venue for small groups!
It’s ok but the parking fees are a huge turn off. I would advise taking transportation or find parking on a side street but with this weather & reckless drivers be careful parking.
I give it four because everything is not open yet in the mall. Only Utopian Tailgate and Roots Pizza is open at this time. Both place is very nice and cool to hangout at. …
Great price for the amenities...I would have given it 5 stars, but the music that is played over the speaker is DEFINITELY too loud....I can barely hear my own headphone music
Looking to park in the city and spend all your money for said parking? Well, look no further. In fact, you won't be going any further because you just ran out of money.
Basically in reference to the few shops inside the second city building. I would give it a three but it's just such an exciting place to be, I can't hate …
Amazing entertainment here! Make sure you know what show to see though because there are tons and some might not be up your Piper's Alley (lol get it!)
Just used the parking garage for an event. It was easy to see from the street, not to full and the attendent was friendly and very helpful.
Nice spot in a bustling area. Second City is a great comedy club to go and visit if you can go! (Multiple entrances though... FYI!)
Pricey but not bad for chicago prices.Only place that had parking available when I was visiting pretty close to Lincoln Park Zoo.
A place open to all, including chess players. Great service, many plug outlets for your cell or laptop and computer nerds/geeks.
I went to the comedy club. The garage was so dirty. It's a shame because I used to hang out at Pipers Alley with my friends.
Pretty good mall in middle of city. Didn't have cheap souvenir t-shirts we were looking for but is probably good for locals
Not really a mall. Starbucks, xsport, chipotle, a theater, and a few small stores. This place isn't anything big or great.
Thanks so much for your time and consideration in this project. I am going to be in the office in a few minutes to chat.
Awesome place to look around and see where some of the greats got their start and future talents learning their craft.
Saw inifite sundaes perform and it was great! Very entertaining improv, comedy show. Fun way to spend a Friday night
Second City shows, classes, 24 hour Starbucks and XSport and Chipotle and you don't even have to leave the building.
Convient parking to Old Town, Chicago History Museum, Topo Gigios, and nearby restaurants near North/Clark Streets.
A must-go. Tons of restaurante and shops surrounding s central atrium and courtyard. Busy yet quiet for the city.
BLM definitely not at this location the people in their are afraid to see a black person workout its sad
A wonderful place to take in a show, have a drink, or even dinner. Many different venues to take in.
What a wonderful place, nested, almost hidden from the hustle and bustle of the best American city!
Parking isn't good and there are full time parking enforcement people ticketing many cars at once
This is where you park basically if you want to go to The Second City or the fitness center.
Very polite customer service. Safe place. I will back here for sure if I need storidge unit.
It's not really a mall, it's just a building with Second City, Fleet Feet, XSport, etc.
Its nice in here . there's the second city theatre . chipotle , Starbucks, and xsport .
Many changes have happened since Second City has taken over, not like it used to be.
Went to a show at second city. Really easy to get to and great parking.Fun place!
The Xsport Fitness is a nice gym very clean and the employees are very helpful!
Second City and Anti Depressants Great show. After hours improv A+ . What Fun!
Neat little gem in Lincoln park. Looks like it has a lot to explore within it
Not too shabby. I'll be back to explore more. Only went to Utopian Tailgate.
Second City performance was on point. Funny and energetic. Left wanting more
Very cool place to visit. From comedy shows to roof tops you will enjoy.
