Book Description

Native's Guide November 29, 2004
Bookstore shelves may overflow with Chicago guidebooks, but most offer identical suggestions for a typical experience of the Windy City. If you want to know the rest of Chicago and continue knowing the city better, the 4th edition of A Native's Guide to Chicago is for you.

The first new edition in six years and still packed with hundreds of free, inexpensive, and unusual things to do in all corners of the Chicago, this is the perfect resource for tourists, business travelers, visiting suburbanites—and mostly, resident Chicagoans themselves! Learn what's new in the city, as seen through the eyes of a team of native Chicagoans, and what time-tested local favorites natives don't want you to forget about in face of the overwhelming recent changes to the city landscape. At almost 500 pages, this is really several books in one—a dining guide, a shopping guide, an entertainment guide, a recreation guide, a touring guide, a walking guide, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Provides "user friendly" mainstream information, January 5, 2005
This review is from: A Native's Guide to Chicago, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
Now in a thoroughly updated and significantly expanded fourth edition, A Native's Guide To Chicago continues to be the premier guide to what Chicago has to offer its residents, suburbanites, out-of-town tourists, scheduled business travelers. Every chapter provides "user friendly" mainstream information and offbeat suggestions side by side. Ranging from touring, recreation, food, and entertainment, to lodging, shopping, walking, and keeping informed, A Native's Guide To Chicago is enhanced with photos, maps, an index, and is a "must" for anyone wanting to spend quality time making memories in America's foremost heartland city.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential guide to Chicagoland adventures!, August 27, 2005
This review is from: A Native's Guide to Chicago, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
One of the best Chicago guides, from streets to attractions and beyond... and the ONLY guide that I keep near my desk!

Lake Claremont Press is a small operation with awesome dedication to doing the midwest right and I trust them much more than any corporate-produced glossy guide; Native's Guide is GREAT!
