Chicago- Diverse Diverse Culture And Cuisine For Entertaining Clients

Chicago serves up diverse culture and cuisine for entertaining clients.

The capital of America’s midwest, Chicago is arguably one of the most welcoming, friendly and accessible cities in the world. Dubbed the Windy City both for its political past and for the winds blowing in off expansive Lake Michigan, it offers business visitors a look into its rich history, gorgeous architecture, world-class culture and sports teams and an array of eclectic restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world.

Chicago, the country’s third-largest city, proves a powerhouse of industry. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the city earned an infamous reputation as a center of organized crime with notorious gangsters like Al Capone, “Bugs” Moran and “Big Jim” Colosimo controlling the streets. Even long after that crime departed, the reputation remained, but thankfully superstars like Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey helped to give the city a more positive global image, and it has continued to flourish since. These days a new crop of cultural mavens, like muralist Hebru Brantley, artist Theaster Gates, Chance the Rapper and singer Jamila Woods, keep giving back to the city that inspires them. They prove Chicago, while often dubbed the “Second City,” is truly tops when it comes to the arts and creativity, which extends into business.
