Chicago is known as the "City of the Big Shoulders", a name given by the poet Carl Sandburg in his poem "Chicago", in which he wrote "Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning." Chicagoans love our city, with its 178 neighborhoods like Uptown, where the Hollywood elite came to celebrate and be entertained, making the neighborhood the Entertainment District that it still is today. Each neighborhood in Chicago has its own personality, and is loved by the people who live within them. Here you'll find an enormous population of immigrant people from all over the world, bringing their own cultures, and in turn, a plethora of amazing and authentic restaurants.
