Who knew that the streets Ferris Bueller roamed were the
same ones Frank Lloyd Wright and Ernest Hemingway once walked?
Explore some of the Chicago-area's most important attractions
and the streets its famous native sons called home without
going into the city. Start
out with a tour of the highest concentration of Wright's
famous architecture anywhere--in leafy Oak Park--where you'll
even see his home and studio. Don't miss the boyhood home
of Ernest Hemingway and the museum that details his life.
Travel through the hip streets of Evanston, swathed in purple
during Northwestern's football season. Fall color is at
its peak in the Chicago Botanic Garden, where the the soft
yellow light of changing leaves and flowering witch hazels
illuminates the woods. Make a running back dash to Walter
Payton's Roadhouse, where memorabila of "Sweetness"
and the Bears abound and the steaks are first rate. Includes: Flight,

Chicago,
IL - Our Kind of Town Breeze into the Windy City, where you'll be blown
away by a skyline of famous skyscrapers, miles of magnificent
shopping, and nothing less than that spirited, Mid-Western
charm!
Where the locals go: Chug an “Old Style”
and bite into a hot dog while cheering the Cubbies at Wrigley
Field, arguably the country’s most charming ball park.
Hard-core fans may sit in the bleachers in hopes of catching
a homerun hit, but there's hardly a bad seat at the “Friendly
Confines.”
Local flavor:
You can't go wrong with porterhouse, rib-eye, or any other
slab of meat at the original Mortons, the paradigm of
Chicago-style steakhouses. And whether you take yours
deep-dish or stuffed, you've got to try the “pot
pie” pizza at Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder.
The
real deal: Lighten up at The Second City, the
comedy club where the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Mike Myers,
Bill Murray, and Chris Farley got their big breaks—we
think it’s a national treasure, no joke.
Get
your bearings: If you want to get around Chicago
like a Chicagoan, get to know "the Loop" and
"the L." Think: the Loop is the business district
that is circled by the mass-transit, elevated train called
the L (and the Chicago River).
Place
we love, even if it's touristy: With 110 stories
rising a quarter mile into the sky, the Sears Tower is
the tallest building in North America. On a clear day
you can see four states from the skydeck on the 103rd
floor.
Where
to blow a paycheck: Rain, snow, or shine, shopaholics
flock to the Magnificent Mile, packed with department
stores, boutiques, and specialty shops. Nearby on State
Street is the historic, ornate Marshall Fields with a
Tiffany ceiling and a lavishly decorated Great Tree during
the holidays.
When you think Chicago, don't be afraid to think
BIG! It's the home of the world's biggest fountain, tallest
building, largest public library, oldest zoo, and largest
collection of Impressionist paintings outside the Louvre.
But just the same, when you think Chicago, don't be afraid
to think small and sweet--Tootsie Roll, E.J. Brach and Sons,
and Fannie May Candies call it home, as do teams of designers,
artists and sports-lovers.
Chicago's
a city steeped in the rhythms of jazz and blues, devoted
to new theater and the art of comedy. Chicagoans swear
by their pizza, hot dogs and ribs, but know how to dine
on ethnic and gourmet fare. You can find anything in Chicago.
