The Best of NileGuide
- Chicago is a food lover’s heaven! In fact, a great way to discover the city is through its dining. Unique and authentic ethnic food can be found in Greektown, Chinatown, and Little Italy. For those who enjoy mid-morning brunch, Chicago is the place to be. It will be a competition to see who has the best French toast! Chicago is also home to award-winning chefs, who will impress any skeptical foodie. And, of course you must try the famous Chicago style deep dish pizza. Once you try it, you’ll never go back!
