Boutique hotels in Chicago

Let’s be frank: We eat some foods that the rest of the world gives us a hard time about, like meat pies, Vegemite on toast, and beetroot on a hamburger. Not to worry. Over in the United States, the people in Chicago also have some culinary creations that are a little…different…although we’re sure they’d love a good meat pie.

For starters, their pizzas are so deep, you can’t eat them with your hands. You need to use a fork! And their hot dogs look like they’ve been “dragged through the garden”, as they say. Who puts tomato wedges and celery salt on a dog?

Curious? So are we. It’s probably best that you check out these mysterious confections for yourself as soon as possible.

A Windy City Walkabout

You’ll have plenty of time to try the city’s iconic dishes during your stay. In between bites, there’s a massive metropolitan area that you need to explore. Your best bet is to reserve Chicago boutique accommodation close to downtown so you’ll be in the heart of the action. You can ride the “El” elevated subway to catch a Cubs game in “The Friendly Confines” of Wrigley Field, and that’s just the beginning.

If you’re more of a shopper than a sports fan, you might be better off in the stores on the Miracle Mile. Put a punchline on the day with a performance by one of Chicago’s famous improv or sketch comedy troupes. Seriously, that’s not a joke. Go do it.

Michelin Stars on Lake Michigan’s Shore

Here’s your chance to test the waters. You absolutely have to try some Chicago-style deep dish pizza. It’s also a good idea to get a hot dog from multiple places near your boutique Chicago hotel. You know, for research.

And while it isn’t quite a meat pie, an Italian beef sandwich will have you wondering why you haven’t visited this city before—and when you’ll be coming back. No matter the meal, a beer from Goose Island Brewery is the perfect way to wash it down, Windy City-style. You’re welcome.
