Not For Tourists Guide to Chicago is a map-based, neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood dream guide that divides Chi-Town into sixty mapped neighbourhoods from Gold Coast and Lincoln Park to Wrigleyville and Lakeview.

Designed to lighten the load of already street-savvy locals, commuters, business travellers, and yes, tourists too, every map is dotted with user-friendly NFT icons that plot the nearest essential services and entertainment locations, while providing important information on things like kid-friendly activities, public transportation, restaurants, bars, and Chicago's art scene.

Need to find the best deep-dish pizza hideouts around? NFT has you covered. How about a list of the top sports attractions in the famously sports-crazy city? We've got that, too. The nearest beach, jazz club, coffee shop, or bookstoreβ€”whatever you needβ€”NFT puts it at your fingertips.

This book also features:

  • A foldout highway map
  • Sections on the North Side, Near North Side, Near West Side, the Greater Loop, the South Side, and Greater Chicago
  • More than 150 neighbourhood and city maps

It's the only key to the Windy City that Rahm Emanuel can't give you.
