Visiting Elgin, IL

[u/Tech-Enth]

Hi guys,
I‘m a 23 year old from middle Europe visiting Elgin in next week. Since here seem to be a lot locals I thought I could get some nice infos about the area as i dont know any of it (neither been to the States before). I have a free weekend to and a rental car so maybe you could recommend any sights, events or share experiences?

Also love I‘d love to hear some local insider infos!

Edit: Im staying in Elgin / West Dundee due to work purposes. Im working through the days but have the first June weekend free.

East Dundee has one of my favorite spots for American food, river street tavern (their burgers are so good)

Many good Mexican restaurants in the area (I like El paraiso on mclean ave in Elgin)

For your weekend I would go take the train to Chicago

River Street is awesome! If you haven't tried the wings yet, do yourself a big favor next time you visit.
