Summary: Michelin:A Smart, not overly talkative friend in Chicago!
Review: I was very happy with the Michelin Green Guide to Chicago both in planning and touring on a recent visit. I could count on the guide for clear, concise descriptions of everything worth seeing -- enough to know if I WANTED to check something out AND very good narrative to help me find my bearings or learn interesting background (but not TOO much!) when I was actually 'on-site'. I never felt either overwhelmed or underinformed by this guide -- which to me is one real test of a travel guide. I also appreciated that phone numbers are listed for virtually everything.I'm not giving it five stars because it offers basically no help/ratings with local restaurants or hotels (and doesn't really pretend to), and because a more comprehensive of web addresses is needed.
