We can’t think of anywhere better than Chicago—that’s why Time Out Chicago exists, after all. From Rogers Park to Pullman, our Midwestern mecca is packed with talented people, delicious restaurants, world-class architecture and a wealth of culture (not to mention a few teams that occasionally win a championship). We’re not discounting our city’s glaring political, financial and social issues, but we firmly believe that making day-to-day life more enjoyable can lead to lasting change. That’s why we’ve laid out ways our metropolis can continue making your friends who don’t live here extremely envious—brutal winter weather notwithstanding.
