Chicago rewards a slow walk more than most American cities, its lakefront skyline visible in flashes between the elevated train tracks that gave the Loop its name. Illinois's biggest city carries a food reputation built on deep-dish and hot dogs, and the local restaurants here run the full range from that classic fare to ambitious tasting menus. Round out a visit with a stop at the museums, a coffee break at the cafes, or a look at a few offbeat curiosities tucked around town.
