For the past few years, I had to visit Chicago quite often and I got to know the city pretty well. It's such a vibrant, photogenic city with great cityscapes around every corner. I've spent many nights just wandering the city to see where I could take great pictures.
The best thing about the city is all the great restaurants. I have so many favorites that it's hard to choose where to eat.
