5/17/23 - reasons to love Chicago (in case you're having trouble convincing your guests to travel)

This month we will start the first in an occasional series of reasons to love our city - for those of you who have guests reluctant to visit the Windy City, we hope this will help convince them that this is one of the greatest places to be!

Reason #1: If you’re a food lover, Chicago is your paradise, with entire neighborhoods just waiting to help you on your culinary adventures. From Pilsen on the South Side (come for the amazing and authentic Mexican food, stay for the art), to Argyle Street’s Little Vietnam strip on the North Side, Chicago has something for you no matter the flavor you crave. From a Chinatown bursting with dim sum, hot pot, and seafood, to more than 20 Michelin-starred restaurants boasting everything from small plates to sushi, Chicago is so much more than deep dish (though we love that too!).
