Chicago, Illinois

Population: 2,896,016

Set along the shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago is a city that has truly redesigned itself. After the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago became the birthplace of modern American architecture; now immense skyscrapers and high-rise buildings populate the downtown area.

Like the rest of the city, Chicago's signature foods, from Chicago hot dogs to deep-dish and stuffed pizzas, are undisputedly unique.
