EVE ROGERS

WHO: Director, Graff Diamonds (103 E. Oak St., 312-604-1000; graff diamonds.com). FAVE ’HOOD: “The Gold Coast, especially with the renaissance happening in the Oak Street area. It is the ultimate in luxury, easy to walk around, and has a small neighborhood feel.” INSPIRED ARCHITECTURE: “The Harris Theater (205 E. Randolph St., 312334-7777; harristheaterchicago.org). The building design brilliantly connects the city with an open-air feel in the middle of Millennium Park.” SUMMER LOVES: “Walks along the lakefront or a picnic at Ravinia (200 Ravinia Park Road, Highland Park, 847-266-5100; ravinia.org). Just taking the time for a short walk along the lake makes you feel like you have had a little getaway.” LOCAL INDULGENCE: “I don’t really get that much ‘me time,’ so escaping to the Museum of Contemporary Art (220 E. Chicago Ave., 312-280-2660; mcachicago.org) for an hour to see the latest exhibit or a performance is my escape.” EVERY VISITOR SHOULD: “Take the Chicago Architecture Boat Tour (cruisechicago.com/architecture-tours). Definitely my all-time favorite thing to do in the city. There truly is no better way to see 20th- and 21st-century architecture at its best in one city.”
