As we natives like to say, if the weather was better, we'd be New York -- too big and expensive to live here. A few helpful hints for visitors - there are many more cultural options here than you'd suspect, and you don't have to go broke enjoying them. (This is how the natives survive the infamous Chicago winters.) The Chicago ...

I typically spend the last week of November/first week in December in Chicago every year. It is a very clean city that offers quite a bit in terms of dining, entertainment, and culture. Some things that are worth checking out are the Modern Art Museum (Art Institute), The Field Museum (Natural History), and shopping along Michigan Avenue. Chicago ...

I used to live in Wisconsin, and I came to Chicago for a concert. I spent 3 days in Chicago taking everything in, and it was love at first sight! One year later, I moved here, and I am so happy I did!
Chicago has some of the most amazing architecture and beautiful scenery I have ever seen. The parks are incredible... highly recommended is the ...

You must go to Navy Pier - my husband proposed to me on the ferris wheel long ago. There is so much to do just on the pier for the entire family. Our kids are older, so we enjoy the jazz concerts in the outdoor amphitheater right on the pier while the kids are off in the mall there or at the IMAX theater. Of course there are the boats or just ...

Chicago is where it's at! A fellow student described it best when she said, "Chicago is so great; it deserves its own coast!"

There is so much to see and do in the city. If you like the outdoorsy, neighborhood feel, go to Grant Park for movie nights during the week. They're free; they're fun.

It's FAMOUS for its ...

I have lived in chicago for all my life and have been everywhere. Chicago is by far one of the greatest city's in the world. But you must see it to belive it. You can not imagine how great it really is. There are hundreds of restraunts and so many fun things the whole family can enjoy. My personal favorite is Wrigley field since I was born a ...

From the hotels to the food to the entertainment the city is awesome.I wish I would have gone there in my younger years so I could have worked downtown.

What a great city. Beautiful buildings, the lake, a great history, and a progressive city. There is so much to do that it cannot be listed. No where else in the Midwest can you find such a diverse city. I never got off the beaten path, but I always felt safe in Chicago. A walking city, but public transportation or a cab are always nearby. ...

Chicago has everything that a big city should and more. Unlike most larger cities, it is relatively clean and comfortable. Breath-taking architecture, magnificent gardening throughout, and the lake for even more scenery. There are many places to go during the day and a great nightlife. Some of the best bars, lounges and food in the world! And the people are friendly and fun which is hard to find in many big cities.
