Published on October 26, 2023

Chicago reúne dezenas de ótimos motivos para merecer um lugar na sua lista de desejos de viagens, mas a gastronomia merece destaque.

É lar da prestigiada cerimônia do James Beard Awards, além de realizar o Taste of Chicago , um dos maiores festivais gastronômicos do mundo.

Award-winning gastronomy: where to eat in Chicago?

Published on October 20, 2023

Numa cidade com poucas atrações turísticas, o visitante não teria muita razão para deixar o hotel e encarar a forte chuva. No caso de Chicago, não há tempo ruim que justifique isso. Se os passeios ao ar livre estão comprometidos, melhor rumar para os espaços fechados. Entre museus, restaurantes, observatórios, casas de música e outras tantas atrações, há muito o que fazer na cidade que, frequentemente, é comparada a Nova York, mas sempre com a ressalva de que seria mais tranquila, mais barata e até mais acolhedora. Seria uma Nova York numa escala menor. Há controvérsias. A cidade tem, digamos, “personalidade” própria, com muito o que mostrar. A seguir, confira algumas das atrações que são a sua “cara”.
