PLEASE READ!! There are two halves of the Wrigley Building: 400 N. Michigan Avenue (closer to the river), and 410 N. Michigan Avenue (where the Walgreen's is). We meet IN BETWEEN these two halves of the Wrigley Building, out of the way of foot traffic, just outside the Peet's Coffee shop that is in the Wrigley Building (with seats in this walk-through plaza). IF YOU NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM, please do so before you meet your guide! There are bathrooms that should be open to you in Walgreens; if not, the ground-floor level of the Intercontinental Hotel (across the street) has bathrooms past the Michael Jordan's Steakhouse entrance and elevator bank. Please give yourself plenty of time to use the bathroom if you need to and to find your guide & group!
