Classic Chicago

Short details/Description:

There are two kinds of Chicago: the groundbreaking, try-new-things kind, and the old-school kind. The latter features lots of 'dems and 'ders talk, restaurants and bars that come to us straight out of past generations, a professional sports legacy with deep, deep roots, and characters galore. What's classic Chicago? Gene & Georgetti's for steak and onions; catching a show on Theater Row in the Loop; or just strolling Lake Michigan's shore. That's Chicago.
