The Windy City is the best city in the US.

And if you don't like it, we will introduce you to The Chicago Way.

 

[moop1167]

Great place to live. Bought a condo here at 24, but I may decide to head back to the east coast at some point.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Oh, anyone up for another trip to Galloping Ghost?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I live in Iowa but have ventured to Chi-town often. Hot Doug's, Uno's, and Al's Beef. Amazing.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Went to college there. Best City indeed!

 

[RustyNails]

Chicago > NYC.

This is a universal truth.

 

[Skiptastic]

Grew up outside Chicago. Will always be my favorite big city, just above Tokyo.

[Deefuzz]

My wife is from Chicago, so we are up there visiting the inlaws often (at least once a month).

It's like my home away from home. I hope someday to actually make it my home.

I love that city.

 

[BertramCooper]

Chicago > NYC.

Agreed.

It's the only super-large city that I don't feel overwhelmed by.

 

[krypt0nian]

It's the perfect city. I miss it like mad right now.

It's 80• right now here at the beach and I'd still give it up for a decent slice of Aurelio's pizza!

Well almost.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

My brother lives there now - went and helped move him in a few years back and really enjoyed the city. I've lived in NYC, but not Chicago, but if I had to choose I'd pick Chicago. Seems like a much more relaxed population; less pomposity, but I could be way off and thats just from two days visiting/observing.

 

[crimzonflame]

I love Chicago. Definitely one of the best cities in the world.

Spoiler

Not better than New York. Its close though.

 

[apocalidiot]

Good call on the thread. I was thinking there should def be one around the time of the meetup you started.

Anywho, it's supposed to be like 50 degrees today. fuck yeah

 

[joelseph]

[yacobod]

[secretanchitman]

Oh, anyone up for another trip to Galloping Ghost?

yes! just make it on friday and i can probably go...

 

[joelseph]

yo man you aren't really helping our cause with this shit.

Because it is not a UFC fight? Fuck off.

 

[Solo]

Sauce on top of the cheese is unforgiveable.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

As a LA-GAF I do love Chicago, if I could try living there I would.

I say we forge an Alliance against NYC-GAF

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

This man adopted Chicago as his home and rests here.

 

[yacobod]

Because it is not a UFC fight? Fuck off.

what does the UFC and dirty hipsters have to do with the city?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Pitchfork Festival is held in CHicago every summer. And arguably, Carlson is the grandfather of modern MMA.

 

[apocalidiot]

I think it's obvious


What's everyone's favorite places to eat in Lincoln Park?

 

[joelseph]

Lincoln Park?

Avoid at all costs!

well played.

 

[BlueSteel]

How about something closer to downtown next time there's a meetup? Think of car-less-GAF.

 

[apocalidiot]

I live here duuuuuuuuuuude. with my brother (I go to skool at depaul)

 

[Guevara]

Hmm all the pictures in this thread appear to be in the summer...

 

[brandonh83]

I've visited Chicago once about 10 years ago when I was playing in orchestra. It was fucking amazing. I really want to go back.

 

[Noshino]

Beautiful architecture, awesome publich transportation, great food and people.

Hell, if you don't like the city there are a lot of great places right outside.


I might bitch about the weather now and then, but I love this city.

Yeah....

Not just that, but the weather didn't help last time either. I was going to go, but decided to check the weather pretty quick, and....turned around and went back to bed lol.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I really like Del Seoul and Aloha Grill for simple eats

 

[sixghost]

That's because it's 70+ and sunny year round, contrary to West coast lies.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Yeah....

We car pooled to Galloping Ghost. I'm happy to give rides again.

 

[SolKane]

Does every B-list city in the US really need its own topic here?

This isn't Toronto man. get outta here with that shit

 

[Timedog]

Because it is not a UFC fight? Fuck off.

lolololol owned.

 

[Represent.]

Toronto-GAF with a confession.

I was there last month and I was forced by my cousin (lives there) to have a Giordano's Deep Dish....

Its the best pizza in the fucking world.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Get some real pizza you weirdos.

 

[Giant Robot]

awesome, I'm actually flying into ORD from San Francisco tonight.
Besides Gramaphone Records and Reckless Records, any other recommendations for record stores?
Looking for some good steakhouses and some gastropubs/dive bars with good craft beers. Already tried a variety of deep dish pizza, hot dogs, and bbqs. Going to try and make my way to Kuma's Korner again since last time it was a 2-3 hour wait during the DAY.

I'll be staying in the downtown area, right across from Millennium Park.

B-list? Fuck off.

Aloha Eats? I love that place! Here's my awesome Spam Loco Moco from when I was there last.

Also another place I love to go have some lunch and a beer:

 

[Foreign Jackass]

I'm not even from the states, and I can recognize that Chicago is the best city in America. Been there only once, for 5 days, but god did I enjoy it. I'd move there any day if I had a good reason to (job, girlfriend, whatever).

Seriously, Chicago, you fucking rock.

[GK86]

I love Chi town. My gf, and myself, went to Chicago over the summer for a few days. Fell in love with the city, and the people. Not to mention the food. The architecture, and designs of the skyscrapers, and buildings were amazing. I want to go back this upcoming summer.

 

[Dude Abides]

Boring cowtown full of fatties.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Even foreign jackasses love Chicago!

Chicago is B list? I'm fine with it. At least we're not snobby bastards who curse at tourists and everything on the street.

We have more gang members than any other US City, according to the Chicago Crime Commission.
