Guidebook for Chicago
Food Scene
My favorite pizza place in Chicago. It is a pan pizza with a fantastic caramelized crust. You can’t make reservations and there will be a wait on weekend days, but there is a bar next door called the Drinking Bird where you can have drinks/shoot pool while you wait for them to text you saying your table is ready

One of the best views of the city from the top floor of this hotel. It will most likely be crowded, but I think this is truly a must see when visiting Chicago
