A city as large and diverse as Chicago offers almost too many options; here you'll find hotels, restaurants, and cultural offerings to suit every style (not to mention budget). But if narrowing down all your choices seems daunting, never fear. Consider this your cheat sheet to the very best of the city, the places we natives steer our out-of-town relatives to when they want to experience the "real" Chicago. Some are well-known tourist attractions; others are insider secrets. But all are places and experiences that truly sum up our city. Happy exploring!
