Chicago
CHICAGO - BEST RESTAURANTS & HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS
Introduction
Every year, millions of tourists infiltrate this beautiful city to explore their artistic flair for art, architecture and theatre. Barack Obama's hometown city impresses with its landmark the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) and a wide culinary scene around top chefs like Grant Achatz. The nightlife scene can be fun and refreshing, but also like a taurine-free Red Bull. The buzz without the wings. Perhaps there is an inferiority complex bound as Chicago will always shadow cosmo New York and stardom Los Angeles.
