Chicago, Illinois

Last May, I traveled to Chicago to visit one of my closest friends. The Windy City is a place I absolutely love to visit. Its restaurants, outdoor spaces, museums, and walkability make it a place of history, education, romanticism, and inspiration. I always say, โ€œChicago has the offerings and pace of a bustling city with midwestern, more gentle, energy.โ€

Below is a short list of places I recommend in Chicago.

The recommendations below include only sites Iโ€™ve experienced myself during recent visits. See below for additional guides.
