    Chicago City Guide

    Chicago is a bustling town with over 200 named residential neighborhoods. Some of those names are famous: The Loop in central Chicago, home to the main business district; Michigan Avenue’s fabulous Magnificent Mile; and the Gold Coast, which rivals Manhattan’s Upper East Side for stylish affluence. Chicago, today the largest city between the East and West coasts, was the destination of choice for Eastern European immigrants during the great wave of migration around the turn of the 20th century. Even today there are more people of Polish descent in Chicago than in any city other than Warsaw, and Chicago foodies are reaping the benefits with a bevy of Polish eateries spicing up a city known for its deep-dish, steakhouses, hot dogs and a growing molecular gastronomy movement.

    Architecture and landmarks

    Chicago rivals even New York City for its architectural pedigree. The skyscraper was invented here back in 1884 with the 10-story Home Insurance Building. While the original skyscraper has since been razed, the Rookery, an 1888 masterpiece from John Wellborn Root and Daniel Burnham, still stands as the world’s oldest skyscraper. Once the tallest building in the country, the Willis Tower (née Sears Tower) still reigns over the Chicago skyline as the second-tallest structure in the US. Chicago even birthed its own building trend – high-rises with orderly sets of windows are nowadays referred to as Chicago style. And famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright honed his Prairie Style in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, giving Chicago the largest collection of Wright-designed buildings of any city in America.

    Beloved Chicago landmarks include the flagship Marshall Field’s department store, the world’s largest in the 1890s, and the Merchandise Mart, the largest building of any kind when it opened in 1930. Illinois native and 16th president Abraham Lincoln is well-represented in Chicago - the Standing Lincoln in Lincoln Park on Dearborn Parkway is hailed as the finest portrait statue in the United States. The most recent president with Chicago ties, Barack Obama, has selected South Chicago for his upcoming presidential library. America's most iconic road, Route 66, begins its 2,448-mile odyssey to the Pacific Ocean on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.
