#5 Iconic Food Tour
Shared by Jared Stills – 63 ❤️
“A bite of everything chicago does best 🤤 Chicago’s food scene is way more than deep dish and hot dogs. This tour took us through neighborhood gems, hole-in-the-wall classics, and bites of history that made us feel like we’d lived here for years.”
#4 Chi-Town Energy
Shared by Hannah Patel – 127 ❤️
“Deep dish, history & st. patty’s day madness ☘️ Chicago doesn’t do things halfway. Not with its food, not with its history, and definitely not with St. Patrick’s Day. We showed up for the green river, stayed for the deep-dish pizza, and left with a newfound respect for Chi-town’s energy.”
#3 Chicago Pizza
Shared by Jacob Smith – 219 ❤️
“Deep-Dish done right 🏆 This isn’t just pizza. It’s a commitment. Layers of oozing cheese, chunky tomato sauce, and buttery crust so thick it might as well be a meal and a pillow for your food coma afterward.”
#2 Art Institute
Shared by Henry Wallace – 343 ❤️
“Getting lost in masterpieces 🖼️ From Monet to Warhol, this place is an art lover’s dream. We strolled through the galleries, stood in front of the original “American Gothic,” and tried (but failed) to pick a favorite exhibit.”
#1 Field Museum
Shared by Jack Mercer – 378 ❤️
“Standing among giants 🏆 The moment you walk in and see Sue, the world’s most complete T. rex skeleton, you know this place is special. Ancient artifacts, mummies, and the kind of history that makes you feel small in the best way.”
