Three days and four nights in the City of the Big Shoulders - it wasn't nearly enough time.  Chicago has it all - spectacular architecture, great art (both in museums and on the streets), excellent restaurants, etc.  We focused on food and architecture.  Memorable meals included dinner at the Obama's favorite, Spiaggio, and  wonderful tortas at the more modest, Xoco, Rick Bayliss's latest venture.  We viewed Chicago's famous skyscrapers both from the river (Architecture Foundation of Chicago river cruise) and on foot, and walked at least four miles through Oakpark to see many of Frank Lloyd Wright's early homes.  See our favorites below.
