Big-city sophistication combined with small-town hospitality create the perfect blend in this, the Mid west’s largest city. Chicago’s influential architecture, cuisine for every budget and taste, great shopping, diverse ethnic neighborhoods, and outstanding museums are reason enough for a visit. And the icing on the cake? The city boasts a lakefront and park system that are as beautiful as they are recreational.

Truly the best views of the city. Situated on the shore of lake Michigan, this is a sight not to be missed. Let the ferris wheel take you to the top of the city in its colourful cars, but don't blow away!

<p>THIS HUGE HOTEL DOES NOT LOSE ANY OF IT'S PERSONAL TOUCH BY BEING SO BIG. THE 1500 ROOMS ARE EXCELLANTLY APPOINTED AND THE STAFF ARE FIRST CLASS. MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE INCLUDING HEADS OF STATE AND ROYALTY HAVE STAYED THERE AND IT IS A MARVELLOUS FEELING TO THINK THAT YOU ARE STAYING IN THE SAME PLACE. TRY TO GET A ROOOM AT THE FRONT WITH VIEWS OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. </p>

Mmmm. Words cannot describe the flavor; truly, if you are Chicago and skip this exquisite pizza, you are missing out on a staple of Chicago culture. There are many locations, including right next to Sears Tower, so be sure to stop by. The original deep dish Chicago pizza in all its glory. Bon appetit!

Delicious Chicago-style deep dish, with a choice for every day of the month. If you're a tourist, plan your meal time for other than rush hour. Sit where famous celebrities have eaten.

A great day/night out for the whole family, just because it's totally different experience from racing in the UK.

Five World-famous Argentine Tango couples from Buenos Aires from Brodway Show "Forever Tango", 24-carat voice Jose Luise Barretto and orchestra TANGUISIMO from Paris, France are in Chicago July 5, 2008 at 8:00 pm.
Tango is more than ever a true art of life, the essence of a nation, the soul of Argentina. Drawing from tango's tumultuous sources, "Paris-Buenos Aires" also has to devote itself to draw its presents portret and its future to glorify the most intimate feelings as the most violent.
Selected for their well known qualities as well as for their differences in style, Paris-Buenos Aires artists represent the tango in its largest range of forms.
They are taking you to a journey of discovery of traditional tango sensuality, the elegance of tango noble, the romanticism of tango waltz, the tango Canyengue games, the saucy figures of tango Milonga, the revolution of tango Nuevo... and of course its pure music and its poetry, inspired from its heart-rendering deepness.
Tickets must be purchased at North Shore Center for Performing Arts online : www.northshorecenter.org or by phone: (847) 673-6300. www.chicagotangoshows.com

Large portions of delicious meals served by an energetic, friendly and helpful wait staff. Time it right and while you are waiting for your meal to arrive, catch a dance class upstairs!

This is food on a farm - pet the animals, ride on the miniature train display, plenty of kids rides and a nice place to take a walk. Not justa place for the kids - see the antique car museum and collections of antique dolls. one of the attractions inside with the food is the 10 uniquely decorated dining rooms. Food is mainly chicken (which is gorgeous) but they also do fish and other meats. Chicken is their speciallity and it would be a place to try it out. I went at Christmas and it was full of the most amzing Christmas lights - worth the journey out from Chicago by itself!
