If the OP likes pizza, Chicago doesn't just have deep dish and all the Neapolitan-type spots, etc. Another home-grown pizza is "tavern style," which is a thin crust pizza -- it typically has a cornmeal dusting on the bottom and it cut in squares. So good and won't leave you feeling like you ate a brick for lunch. I haven't been in ages, but if you're near the Loop, Pizano's used to do a pretty good version. |

I know Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder is popular. It's not my favorite pizza and it's not real Chicago style, but it's well known. |

The food is insane. I come back and I'm depressed.
It's a city OP that you'll love because it's so easy with kids. It's very lively there and easy to navigate. I will always consider Chicago one of the best cities in the world and I've been everywhere. |

| We took our kids to Chicago when they were 10 and 12 for 5 days and it was one of the best trips ever!!! There is so much to see, great shopping and food. We did a bike tour on the lake and it was very fun. Whitesox and Cubs games, Science and Industry Museum, boat tour. I would recommend Eataly with the kids- have not been to that one, but went in NYC with the kids and they loved it. |

As long as you visit from May-Sept this is true. In the summer, it's the best. But the rest of the year, no. I grew up there and visit every few years now. |
