Chicago is the city that works. The city of big shoulders. Chicago contains North Americas tallest building and one of the worlds largest office buildings. It is a city where the ubiquitous el trains create an almost deafening clatter. The city looks big. Feels big. Is big. (more)

The waves of the great lake lapped against the shore, but the water would not be stopped. For miles Lake Michigan flooded the land, seeping into every crevice it could find with an unsatiable thirst to reclaim the geographic region that it had dominated for thousands of years.

Theres something to suit everyones appetite, from the classic Chicago-style pizza at Ginos East or Pizzeria Uno to mouthwatering hotdogs to pound-heavy T-bones. Fine dining establishments (including the renowned Charlie Trotters) are top-of-the-line and plentiful. Many excellent ethnic eateries also flourish here, whether you're in the mood for Southern soul food, hands-only Ethiopian, Indian curries, or spicy Thai. (more)
