Local Flavor: Chicago Dyes the River Green #SM4U

March 17, 2017 by Gus Calabrese

Chicago is a great city with many traditions that should not be missed. To get the true taste, try their deep-dish pizza (it’s way better than you have had in other cities). While staying downtown, sample a Chicago hot-dog, pick up an Italian beef sandwich, shop the Miracle Mile and if you are lucky enough to be there during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade witness the dyeing of the river.
