Browsing the web, you’ll find an obnoxious amount of Chicago city guides chocked full of the most mediocre establishments our city has to offer. The vast majority of these lists are, in a word, lame. (Editors are fervently ranking Chicago’s best parks, for goodness’ sake – as if there’s a crying need for such a classification.)
Wouldn’t it be great to finally have a useful guide to Chicago, free of charge? One that could be trusted by locals and tourists alike?

Chicagoings.com provides an authentic look at Chicago – a point of view you won’t find anywhere else. Every tourist knows about Navy Pier, the Gold Coast neighborhood, and the Willis Tower.
