I recently just went to Chicago for Spring Break. Yes, the Windy City! The temperature was actually really nice and I fell in love with the city. There was a department store on every corner and I did not have any self control so I may have done more damage than I intended. But it’s ok because I was on vacation! My friends and I also went to amazing restaurants and tourist places and it was incredible. Chicago food definitely comes close to Atlanta food. As your blogger best friend, I took the liberty of putting together a food and travel guide with all my favorite restaurants so you guys know the best places to go in Chi-Town!
Where to Stay?
My friends and I stayed at The Whitehall Hotel and it was such a cute Boutique hotel with a vintage charm. It was also in a prime location in downtown Chicago and almost everywhere we went was within walking distance. There are also many other hotels throughout downtown Chicago so make sure to do your research when choosing. Location is super important unless you want to Uber everywhere!
