Their unique characteristics and signature dishes can both be appreciated at the same time; for food-lovers, chefs, and critics alike, both Chicago and New York should be at the top of your list of cities to explore with a healthy appetite."
"Known for large immigrant populations that make the food scene diverse and plentiful, street food staples beloved across the nation, and an incredible diversity in dining out experiences that make eating here a full-time hobby, you don't have to spend much time in Chicago ( 24 hours in the Windy City would do it) to feel like you've been invited to grandma's for a moveable feast."
Chicago and New York rank among the nation’s leading food cities with abundant, travel-worthy dining options. Immigrant communities in both cities supply deep flavor traditions, neighborhood character, and a wide range of cuisines from street food to fine dining. Chicago centers on hearty Midwestern comfort, communal meals, and approachable, homey restaurant experiences.
