CITY GUIDE
CHICAGO
³ Why Go Now: Discover dog-friendly hotels, smoke-swirling cocktails, and the world’s largest digital art display
Four-legged guests
soak in the scene
at Chicago Athletic
Association Hotel.Coined in the 1830s,
Chicago’s Latin motto,
Urbs in Horto (“City in
a Garden”), anticipated
the green movement
by more than a century.
Since then Chicago
has accelerated the
pace of environmental
innovation, building
some 300 miles of bike
trails, installing green
roofs on buildings
like City Hall, and
creating the 24.5-acre
Millennium Park atop
a parking garage.
Public art and
architecture have long
been at the heart of
Chicago’s cultural
appeal, and the two
now merge for Art on
the Mart, a new digital
projection across
2.5 acres of edifice.
The city’s culinary
trailblazers fuel cultural
exploration and create
their own enticing
food-focused circuit.
“Chicago has surpris-
ing beauty, and the
people are very com-
fortable with where
they live,” says David
Manilow, a Chicago
native and the creator
of restaurant review
show “Check, Please!”
“It’s a city where you’re
allowed to be yourself.”
