Maria Pinto's Suggested Chicago HotSpots
Chicago is vibrant and artistic, where you can eat some of the country's most creative dishes, sip on fabulously crafted cocktails, and shop at unique places, all within the backdrop of Chicago's industrial history. Whether you're visiting from out of town or a Chicago native, I highly recommend checking out this dynamic scene.
To get you started, we put together some of our favorite spots. Enjoy!
