Access guides separate chapters into neighborhoods, making it easy for the visitor or city dweller to access the best restaurants, shops, cultural and historical attractions, etc. in the area where you are at the moment. Although it is more conventional than hip, historical insights and comments from natives makes for a complete Chicago experience.
