Looming skyscrapers form a canyon-like effect down LaSalle, which ends abruptly with the Art Deco masterpiece of the Board of Trade on Jackson.

53-foot tall stabile located in the Federal Plaza in front of the Kluczynski Federal Building. It was commissioned by the United States General Services Administration and was unveiled in 1974, although Calder's signature on the sculpture indicates it was constructed in 1973.
For nearly 25 years after its completion, the Willis Tower, formerly known as the SearsTower, held the title of tallest building in the world. Standing 110 stories tall, its black aluminum and bronze-tinted glass exterior has become emblematic of Chicago, a city crazy about its architecture.
The Rookery building in the heart of Chicago’s financial district stands testimony to the resilience and creative spirit of late-nineteenth century Chicago.

The story of downtown Chicago’s Palmer House Hilton is one of romance and undeniable charm. Potter Palmer was a Chicago business magnate—well-known for a variety of endeavors, including his significant role in the development of downtown Chicago’s iconic State Street.

Learned a lot and ate a lot Highly recommend
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Reading that you enjoyed every part of the experience made our team smile. We look forward to seeing you again with Secret Food Tours!
We enjoyed our last tour so much we decided to do it again. Sue, our tour guide, went above and beyond what a tour guide would normally do. She went into great detail about not only the history of the food we ate, but also a lot of the architecture. We felt that we actually got two tours for the price of one. We can't recommend this tour strongly enough and if you are lucky enough to get Sue as your tour guide, then you are, in fact, lucky.
It was a pleasure having you with us! We're glad the experience gave you plenty to enjoy and remember. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon.

We love doing food tours and this one was amazing! Mike, the tour guide, knew his stuff, was energetic and funny, the group we were with was delightful, and the food was incredible! I was pretty impressed with the different styles of food and the portions. It was more like a several course meal when you look at the amount of food you get at every stop.
Feedback like this never gets old. It's great to hear that the day unfolded exactly as we hoped it would. We hope to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours soon!
