We go home with our brains bursting with new ideas, but while you’re here, don’t forget about thought for food, as well. Chicago is an incredible dining town—home not just to local specialties like Italian beef sandwiches and pizza (both deep-dish and tavern-style thin crust) but also to critically acclaimed high-end restaurants and ethnically diverse eateries in any neighborhood you choose to explore.”
