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 rebirth of the city in the wake of the Great Fire of 1871 gave rise to the multi-storied office building that would transform the landscape of America’s cities.
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.

We enjoyed the chance to show you around. The food may be what brings people together, but the local places and conversations are what give the experience its character. Thanks for spending the day with Secret Food Tours!
Sue was wonderful. We learned about Chicago’s history as well as tried food that I most likely would not have tired or known about. Highly recommend this tour.
A sisters' trip built around deep dish and Chicago history is exactly the kind of day we hope to give our guests! We're glad the tour added something new for you both to explore together. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.
Our guide, Eliot, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was great! I would recommend this walking food tour in Chicago.
Your visit was a pleasure to be part of. There’s a lot that goes into putting a Secret Food Tours experience together, from the stops we choose to the details our guides bring to the day. We’re glad you got to experience it with us!
Sue is wonderful, born in Chicago so she knows the great food places. All the food was delicious, better than I expected. The pizza was so good, I never eat that kind of pizza but I ate the entire piece. The brownies were scrumptious, even though I was full, there was always room for a great brownie. Sue's knowledge of the Chicago history made the tour an absolute must for anyone who is interested in great facts and stories. I would recommend this tour to all.
It was great meeting you! Your time in the city was yours to spend, and we’re glad some of it brought you our way through Secret Food Tours. We hope you’ll join us again when the opportunity comes.
