Packing it all in and revealing where to get the best pizza, find charming architecture, catch a movie, find the best nightlife, or simply where to head for the best view of the Chicago city skyline. Whether you've called Chicago your home for decades or just arrived last night, you ignore at your peril this new 2010 edition with its caustic neighbourhood summaries and refreshing, politically incorrect descriptions. Meticulously researched and written by folks who actually live here, NFT presents the city along with its good, its bad and its downright hideous. In over 400 pages of glorious content, the pocket-sized survival handbook features simply everywhere, from The Loop and Prairie Shores to Logan Square and East Lakeview, as well as covering Parks, Colleges & Universities, Sports, Transit, and Arts & Entertainment. Designed for street-savvy locals, commuters, business travellers, and yes, tourists, NFT Chicago includes a highly graphical map for every neighbourhood featured. User-friendly map icons highlight everything from coffee shops, supermarkets, liquor stores and libraries, to hardware stores, gas stations, gyms and pharmacies. So if you're meeting friends in an unfamiliar part of the city or find yourself off the beaten track, NFT is a must-have resource. But NFT doesn't waste your time by serving up five zillion options just because they're in a database: contributors have gone back to eat, drink, dance and shop their way through last year's listings to check that they're still worth knowing.
