  In a city of architectural treasures, the building continues. A radical new project by Rem Koolhaas has sprouted up on Mies van der Rohe's ITT campus, the new Trump Tower Chicago is finally underway and the futuristic designs of the Millennium Park are nearing completion. The toddling town is striding into the 21st century with the openings of even more clubs, bars and restaurants, as well as funky new hotels from, among others, the Hard Rock group. Time Out's team of local writers give chapter and verse on the local sights, sounds, eats and treats in 320 pages of crisp prose, as well as the full low-down on quirky towns and lakeshore hideaways beyond the city limits.

  All major cities worth their salt are a mix of the ancient and the modern, but few blend the two as well as Chicago. The original home of the skyscraper and the early base of Frank Lloyd Wright now holds some of America's most dazzling modern structures, from new waterfront buildings to the wildly popular Millennium Park. The cradle of deep-dish pizza is now awash with forward-thinking restaurants and fashionable bars. However, some traditions remain intact: the Chicago Cubs baseball team, loved almost as much by visitors as by locals, show few signs of snapping one of the least enviable streaks in sport, having not won the World Series since 1908.
