5 Places You Must See in Chicago

Throughout this blog, I am going to list five places one must see when they go to Chicago.  Granted, there are many incredible sites to see and places to be, however, this list pertains to my top five choices.  The only criteria on this list is that the locations to visit are in Chicago.  These are not in ranking order.  Without further ado...

#1: Wrigley Field 
Although I am a Southsider and a huge White Sox fan, attending Wrigley Field should be on everybody's bucket list.  This baseball stadium hosts the Chicago Cubs and is one of the most famous stadiums in sport's history.  The environment is electric during a Cub's game.  On top of this, there is great beer and food available inside and outside the stadium.  

#2: Michigan Avenue
Michigan Avenue is considered to be the most known street in Chicago right above State Street.  This prominent street is a home to numerous high-end restaurants, businesses, and five star hotels.  Nothing beats walking down this street on a nice day.  The culture is very noticeable as there are many street performers and tourists in site.  This wonderful street also connects to Millennium Park which is next on the list.

#3: Millennium Park
On the East side of Chicago near Lake Michigan, one of the most fun locations is present.  Millennium Park has a series of activities that anyone can be apart of.  From walking through gardens, catching a concert, to ice-skating in the winter, Millennium Park has it all.  When you visit the park, be sure to leave yourself enough time so you can experience everything that is available!

#4: North Avenue Beach
Next up on the list is North Avenue Beach.  One of the most notorious beaches in Chicago in which it offers the greatest experience on a nice summer day.  Being located right on Lake Michigan, this beach attracts thousands of people every day.  When many visitors come to the city from surrounding areas, they most likely head over to this beach.  With thousands of smiling people around, this one of a kind beach is guaranteed to give you the greatest beach experience on could ask for.

#5: Navy Pier
The last spot on the list goes  to the beloved Navy Pier.  This near north side destination is a 3,300 foot long pier that you will not want to miss out on seeing.  Iconic with its Ferris Wheel, Navy Pier hosts tourist services, has ride attractions, offers live entertainment events and much more.  It is recommended that you leave yourself a full day so you can have time to do every activity.  With an abundance of food stalls and shops, one will be in Chicago heaven seeing all of the awesome souvenirs.  It is said that Navy Pier is the number one most tourist attraction in Chicago so you better head there and see why!

Now that you have an idea of some destinations to stop at, be sure to take advantage of every moment while you are there.  There is no city like Chicago and there is no better experience on can find.  There are so many locations to visit that it would literally take weeks to see everything.  Don't be that person who has nothing to talk about in a Chicago discussions.  Get out there and explore the most beautiful city there is!

A True Debate Ketchup on a Hotdog? As many people in the world now, one of the biggest debates to ever be brought up is that of whether ketchup belongs on a hotdog or not.   Since the beginning of hot dog eating time, many people have questioned if it is acceptable to put ketchup on a hotdog.   (The answer is obviously N.O.)   There technically is not a right or wrong answer since it is the person’s own desire that trumps everything, but to any Chicagoan, it is a sin to put ketchup on your hotdog.
