No matter what you're looking for, you can find it in Chicago. What you may not find so easily, however, is a place to take a breather. Following the successful New York edition, Chicago's 50 Best... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It's about time. In a city that's louder than hell, this book was long overdue. The author did the subject justice - her choices prove that she really knows Chicago inside and out - and her writing is always entertaining. I highly recommend this book, not just for Chicagoans in search of some solace, but tourists who don't just want to hit the usual (overcrowded) spots. Whenever my mom comes to visit, everything is too loud for her. This book solves that problem. Seek it out!
Peace

I'm the author, so I am, admittedly, biased. But I want to let prospective buyers to know that every spot in my book is open to the public, and that nearly all the places are free or low cost. After all, peace and quiet should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. I cover all regions of the city, as well as at least one or two suburban spots in each direction. "Chicago Tonight" and WBEZ both did features on the book--I think you'll be pleased if you buy it.
