[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Chicago, do not miss Portillos for a Chicago dog or an Italian beef. [/quote]

Exhibit A as to why I can’t wrap my head around choosing Chicago over the Caribbean for an adults only 4 night getaway.

I mean, yes, Portillos is a Chicago thing, but it’s basically fast food.

[b]Chicago is a place you piggyback on a day or two when you are in town for business. You see a baseball game, go to a museum, do the boat/architecture tour, shop, and seek out good restaurants and make sure you have reservations. There’s nothing sexy or exciting about it though. [/b]

Aruba is probably the last place on my list if I’m going away for 4 nights. Where can you get a direct flight from your home airport, op? Start there. Heck, French side of St. Martin or Bermuda would be quick and lovely. [/quote]

Agree.  Chicago is fine, but wouldn’t go there for vacation.  A lot of people do love Chicago, but I’ve found these are usually people from Chicago.  They have a very protective/defensive nature regarding their city.  They don’t like that [b]Chicago isn’t a world class city, like NYC and L.A.[/b][/quote]

Ignorance ^^.

I have zero doubt this PP has never been to Chicago. Classic DCUM -- dishonest ignorant people saying stupid things with authority. [/quote]

I’ve been to Chicago plenty of times.  Couple of work trips and my son lived there for three months.  Also, I’m not saying it’s a bad city, just not my choice for a getaway in June.  [/quote]
