All major cities worth their salt are a mix of the ancient and the modern, but few blend the two as well as Chicago. The original home of the skyscraper and the early base of Frank Lloyd Wright now holds some of America's most dazzling modern structures, from new waterfront buildings to the wildly popular Millennium Park. The cradle of deep-dish pizza is now awash with forward-thinking restaurants and fashionable bars. However, some traditions remain intact: the Chicago Cubs baseball team, loved almost as much by visitors as by locals, show few signs of snapping one of the least enviable streaks in sport, having not won the World Series since 1908.
