From our favorite fast food to upscale dining, there are so many great places to eat in the city.

Don't forget to try a famous Chicago hotdog (Portillo's), deep dish pizza (Giordano's, Pequod's) or Italian Beef (Al's, Portillo's)!

In your free time, you can walk through Millennium Park and to the lakefront from the hotel.

For sightseeing, try the Chicago Architecture Tour riverboat cruise or sneak in a trip to the Chicago Art Institute across the street.

The New York Times just published a list of places to explore in Chicago at low to no cost.

Our favorite restaurants in downtown Wilmette are Sophia Steak, Valley Lodge (tavern) and Napolita (pizza).

No trip to Wilmette is complete without a visit to Chuck Wagon. Try to spot some familiar faces on the wall.

In your free time, you can visit Gillson Park in Wilmette and walk along the lakefront. The Baha’i Temple is right across the street.
