Timeout Chicago suggests some scenic drives....

Logan Square Boulevards

Encompassing parts of Humboldt Boulevard, Kedzie Avenue and Logan Boulevard, the "boulevards" of Logan Square are lined with some of the most stunning architecture in all of Chicago. Marvel at massive Victorians, stately brick homes and textbook examples of Prairie School style. The tree-lined streets and grassy picnic nooks that line the streets don't hurt the view, either.

Lower Wacker Drive

Remember the scene in The Dark Knight where Batman, the Joker and a crew of cops face off in a high-speed chase beneath the city streets? That heart-pounding scene was filmed on Chicago's Lower Wacker Drive, located directly below Wacker Drive downtown (fun fact: There's even a third tier below that, known as "Lower Lower Wacker Drive." Though many Chicagoans will disagree about the street's scenic appeal, there's no denying that this iconic city shortcut feels like an entirely different world.

Midway Plaisance

If you've ever been on the campus at the University of Chicago, chances are you've probably ended up on the Midway Plaisance, a mile-long bit of road that connects Jackson Park and Washington Park. There's plenty of lush green space sandwiched between the opposing roadways, and you'll be able to see the stately University of Chicago buildings off to the north. Continue west to loop around the DuSable Museum of African American History, or go east to wrap around the lagoons of Jackson Park.
