Chicago stands a strong chance of being everyone's kind of town. With world-class museums and performing arts venues, legendary jazz and blues clubs, more than 7,000 restaurants serving everything from haute cuisine to hot dogs, and 29 magnificent miles of lakefront, the "City of Big Shoulders" offers something for everyone.
For gravity-defying architecture, a world-class music scene fueled by thousands of restaurants, and cosmopolitan comforts without the big-city attitude.
