Find inspiring architecture, cuisine and culture in Chicago — Condé Nast Traveler’s number-one ‘Big City’ in the US
ome of the first skyscraper, Chicago is the birthplace of some of the most ground-
breaking (no pun intended) buildings in the US. So whether you’re inter- ested in watching
the metropolis
gleam from the Willis Tower Skydeck, watching the world’s largest digital art projection illuminate 2.5 acres of facade at Art on theMART, visiting a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, or viewing the new St Regis, designed by Jeanne Gang, Chicago is the place to be. Tis is true especially if you book a tour with the Chicago Architecture Center or Chicago Private Tours, which provide a guide, a driver and a luxury vehicle. Now, just because you need to stop
for a bite, doesn’t mean the views have to end. Everything from the glim- mering night skyline to the piercing blue of Lake Michigan can be seen while enjoying some of the most renowned food in America. With 22 Michelin-starred restaurants and cuisine from every culture imagi- nable, Chicago has a vast array of eateries to explore. For a waterside view overlooking
the beautiful Chicago River, opt for Travelle, an elegant restaurant on the second floor of the Langham Chicago. Te Girl and the Goat is another favourite, one of five Chicago restau- rants owned by chef (and Top Chef champion) Stephanie Izard. Or travel to India straight from the rose-pink booths of Indienne, with Indian fine dining that looks like art and tastes equally spectacular.
