I am coming to your town for nascar (sorry if you are anti the event) and am wondering if there is anything Chicago specific I should know? Places to avoid or must do things? I definitely want a deep dish pizza and a Chicago dog.

Thanks for any insight, appreciate it.

Make sure you're taking the L, it's the safest and least stressful way to get around. Google maps should route you through it pretty intuitively along with the signs. I'd recommend getting out of the loop. Wicker Park and Chinatown are fun places to walk around, eat, drink, etc. Rent a bike or just walk the lake front trail and hang out at the beach for a bit. I personally prefer Lou's for deep dish. Enjoy the event, I'm curious to see how it plays out.

The L is definitely the main plan. Along with maybe some scooters if available

Definitely scooters, but mostly Diivy bikes stations here in Chicago (owned and accessible thru Lyft app). That's your best bet for bike/scooter share.

2nd vote for Lou Malnati's deep dish. Get the butter crust. People seem to love Pequod's too but I've never tried it personally. Although that neighborhood is fun.
