Tips for Surviving the Taste of Chicago

- Wear Comfortable Shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking, so ditch the stilettos and opt for something comfy.
How to...
- How to avoid the longest lines? Arrive early or late in the day, or consider visiting on a weekday if possible.
- How to sample the most food? Share dishes with friends or family to try a variety of flavors.
- How to save money? Look for deals and combo meals, and consider bringing your own water bottle.
- How to find the hidden gems? Venture beyond the main stage and explore the less crowded areas.
- How to survive a food coma? Take a nap, go for a walk, or just enjoy the post-food bliss.
So, get ready to embark on a culinary adventure at the Taste of Chicago. Your taste buds will thank you (maybe your waistline won't, but hey, you only live once).
