<p>I think this depends on where you’re coming from. If you’re coming from another major city, you might find that this area simply has the “typical” upscale stores that plenty of major cities have – Cartier, Tiffany’s, Neiman-Marcus, Nordstrom, etc., plus plenty of stores that are similar to what upscale malls have. If, however, you’re coming from a smaller city or a more rural area, this might be of interest. Oak Street (at the north end) is a bit more chi-chi and unique than Michigan Avenue, and of the shopping centers on Michigan Avenue, I would say that 900 North Michigan (the Bloomingdale’s building) is far more unique / specialty than Water Tower Place – WTP has a lot of what I think are just ordinary typical mall stores. </p>
<p>While on Michigan Avenue, I think the Fourth Presbyterian Church is a pretty area to stop and walk around for a quick break.</p>
