TITLE: Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator, Museum of Contempora­ry Art Chicago (220 E. Chicago Ave., 312-280-2660; mcachicago.com). HOME ’HOOD: “Lincoln Park, a gem of nature and pleasure. And beyond is the beach! I feel guilty that I don’t jog.” GO-TO SPOT: “Nothing makes me happier than the Arts Club having opened The Drawing Room (201 E. Ontario St., 312-787-3997; artsclubch­icago.org), a wonderful bar that I can duck into right after work.” HIDDEN GEM: “The Japanese Gardens (gardenofth­e phoenix.org) in Jackson Park. You’ll find beauty and serenity all year round, nestled in the shadow of the Museum of Science and Industry.” FAVORITE BUILDINGS: “I think houses of worship tend to have the best architectu­re; after all, they are designed to inspire. My top places are the Bahá’í Temple (bahai.us/bahai-temple) in Wilmette and the Rockefelle­r Chapel (rockefelle­r.uchicago.edu) at the University of Chicago.” ULTIMATE INDULGENCE: “If you want to pretend you’re doing laps in a Hollywood Regency-era film, I highly recommend paying a visit to the I-club spa and health club at the Interconti­nental Chicago (505 N. Michigan Ave., 312944-4100; icchicagoh­otel.com). Then stick around for a massage, too.”
