1. Restaurants.

We discovered it in 2012 and now, a trip to Chicago doesn't seem complete without a stop at The Purple Pig.

2. Shopping

3. Architecture

Visiting another city, such as Grand Rapids, New York, Salt Lake City, or Berkeley, sometimes means meeting up with a friend or three!

8. Museums

9. Gawking... um, I mean PEOPLE WATCHING! Haha. There's no better place for it.

10. Options for getting around -- train, subway, on foot.

Excellent list and I can't believe I forgot about the movies!

You may need to drive or fly to get to a big city, but you certainly have made your way to a few. I'm so happy you came here to visit me and lucky, too!

Mary

yes to all those things! Seeing a movie in a big city theater is a whole different kind of experience. I've been to several in NYC - truly, it's an event (which is good - I recall the tickets were way more than I pay at my suburban theater ;-)
