From the Back Cover

Chicago's no second-rate city: this cultural colossus includes architectural marvels, top-notch museums, and Michelin-starred restaurants. But what's beyond the well-trodden sights? Vegan diners serving up plant-based treats, raucous late-night comedy clubs, and third wave coffee shops that'll knock your socks off, that's what. There's much more to Chicago than the Willis Tower and Navy Pier, and who better to show you around than the locals?

This gorgeous insider's guide includes recommendations from Chicagoans in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangouts and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as welcoming as Chicago we could fill the pages of this ebook tenfold. Rather, Chicago Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're a Chicagoan looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide helps you to experience the real side of Chicago.
