The 500 Hidden Secrets of Chicago

$25

 Trip to The Windy City on the horizon? Discover what you can’t miss while you’re here in The 500 Hidden Secrets of Chicago. This pocket-sized guide is packed with page after page of off-the-beaten-path places, all compiled by Lauren Viera — a local journalist who has called the city home for over two decades. Divided by topic into ten sections, you’ll find recs on where to eat, drink, stay and shop (including yours truly!); advice on where to discover local art, architecture and live music; tips for enjoying the city’s lakefront, river, parks and gardens; and much, much more. Also included is a section on the Chi’s legends, lore, myths and traditions, which dishes on everything from iconic movie locations and historic sites to the origins of the city’s name and unique local practices like “dibs” and Malört shots. All of these locations are noted on a series of neighborhood maps, which allow you to easily plan your day’s adventure. Brimming with inspiration and insider info that may even surprise lifelong residents, let this delightful little book act as your tour guide the next time you’re in the Second City!
