Imagine taking an architecture boat cruise as the skyline that invented the skyscraper rises on both banks of the river, then walking to a blues club on the South Side where the music that gave rock and roll its backbone is still played the way it was meant to sound, then ending the night at a Fulton Market restaurant that made a national television show and a reservation list six months long. WHAT THIS GUIDE PUTS IN YOUR HANDS
Cloud Gate done right, the Architecture Boat Cruise, kayaking the Chicago River, the ART on THE MART projection, and the Tiffany dome at the Cultural Center most visitors walk straight past. 2. The Magnificent Mile, Gold Coast & Navy Pier
What is actually worth stopping for on Michigan Avenue, Skydeck versus 360 Chicago settled, Oak Street and North Avenue beaches the way locals use them, and the RH Three Arts Club hidden behind the Gold Coast mansions. 3. Wicker Park, Logan Square & the Creative Northwest
The 606 elevated railway trail, Logan Square's farmers market and restaurant energy, Ravenswood's Malt Row brewery circuit, and Pilsen's 18th Street open-air mural gallery. 4. The South and West Side Neighborhoods
The National Museum of Mexican Art, Bronzeville's Great Migration cultural trail, Chinatown's dim sum and Ping Tom Park, and Hyde Park's Museum of Science and Industry and University of Chicago campus. 5. Lincoln Park, Lakeview & the North Side
The free Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field as a cultural experience, the hidden Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, Andersonville's independent bookshops, and the Chicago Magic Lounge behind a laundromat door. 6. Blues, Jazz, Comedy & Live Entertainment
The blues club circuit that kept Chicago's sound alive, jazz from Andy's to the Green Mill in Uptown, Second City and iO Theater, rooftop cinema summers, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. 7. Chicago Food & Drink
The deep dish debate resolved by eating it, the Bear food trail through the show's real restaurant locations, international neighborhood eating from Chinatown to Humboldt Park, craft distilleries, and the farmers markets worth planning your day around. 8. The World-Class Museums
A strategy for the Art Institute, Sue the T. Rex at the Field Museum, beluga whales at the Shedd Aquarium, the Adler Planetarium sky shows, and the German U-boat at the Museum of Science and Industry. 9. Chicago Architecture
The Loop walking tour, Frank Lloyd Wright's Oak Park studio and prairie trail, riding the L as an architecture tour, and the Chicago Architecture Center river cruises that explain everything. 10. Chicago History
The Al Capone gangster tour, the Great Fire and 1893 World's Fair at the Chicago History Museum, the Pullman National Monument labor history, and the Bronzeville Great Migration trail. 11. Sports Culture
Wrigley Field as a cultural pilgrimage, the South Side White Sox experience, the United Center where Michael Jordan built a dynasty, Soldier Field on the lakefront, and the Chicago Marathon taking over the city. 12. Fulton Market & the New Chicago
How a meatpacking district became the most exciting restaurant neighborhood in the city, Randolph Street's restaurant row, Greektown on Halsted, and the immersive art spaces remaking the West Side. 13. Itineraries Built for Doing
Two-day essential routes, five-day full city immersion, architecture and history themed routes, food and music themed routes, and full L train and practical intelligence with a master GPS coordinates reference throughout.
